Requests for abortion pills from people who were not yet pregnant spiked when patients appeared to perceive threats to abortion access, new research has found.
A woman who is pregnant and seeking an abortion in Texas has been granted permission to have the procedure by a state judge. The fetus has a condition that is almost always fatal.

With states empowered to regulate abortion, doctors say they're trapped by vague laws that criminalize care. And ongoing court battles make it hard to keep up with the procedure's legal status.
