The US Supreme Court is set to hear its second abortion-rights case in as many months, focusing on whether hospitals are obligated under federal law to provide emergency abortions to women in medical emergencies. This comes as a restrictive six-week abortion law in Florida is scheduled to take effect on May 1, with limited exemptions for rape, incest, and maternal life protection.
In Arizona, a 1864 law is poised to be reinstated for the first time in anyone's lifetime, potentially as early as June 8. The law includes only an exemption for protecting the life of the mother, sparking efforts to repeal it in the state House.
