The evidence in Ohio is undeniable: Restrictions on medication abortions cause harm to women because they are not grounded in science and curtail access to reproductive health care.

And it is not just Ohio. This New York Times piece shows how similar laws in North Dakota and Texas harm patients in those states too.

When’s the last time a politician has expressed abortion regret—in this case, about voting for an ill-conceived restriction? Well, one in Pennsylvania just did.

Voters in Colorado will have a ballot initiative that proponents say would create a “universal” health-care system in the state. One problem: The measure does not protect abortion rights.

The fight over the accommodation process for religiously affiliated nonprofits objecting to complying with the Affordable Care Act’s birth control benefit is probably not ending anytime soon.

Meanwhile, voters in California have the chance to rethink prosecutors’ capacity to directly charge some juvenile offenses as adult crimes. Critics argue the practice gives prosecuting attorneys too much power and circumvents many rehabilitative programs available for youth in trouble.

It’s going to be a big year for voting rights challenges. Alabama is the latest state facing a claim it has been intentionally diluting the strength of Black voters.

Kansas is a key battleground state when it comes to conservatives seeking to take control of the state’s supreme court, which they view as too friendly to abortion rights. Which is what makes this closed-door meeting between a Topeka attorney and Kansas anti-abortion groups more disturbing. What are they discussing they do not want the press to report?

Why should we be paying attention to state judicial races anyway? Because, in places like Texas, plenty of state court judges would happily ignore federal law when it comes to LGBTQ and reproductive rights.

Dahlia Lithwick explains how the U.S. Supreme Court made it much less likely that, despite evidence that Donald Trump made a substantial donation to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi’s campaign committee just days before Bondi’s office decided not to join a multistate lawsuit over alleged fraud at Trump University, any investigation or prosecution is unlikely to take place.

Finally, President Obama moves to protect federal funding of Planned Parenthood. Forever.
