Abortions

Washington Post -  The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has temporarily reinstated a requirement that abortion pills be picked up in person. The move, which abortion rights advocates argue will make it harder for women to access the commonly used abortion pill, stems from Louisiana’s lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration that allowed patients to access the medicine through telehealth and mail.

Pew Research - In our January 2026 survey, more than half of Americans (55%) said medication abortion should be legal in their state, while a much smaller share (26%) said it should be illegal. About two-in-ten (18%) said they were not sure.
