Cameron v. EMW Women鈥檚 Surgical Center
In 2018, the 老澳门开奖结果 and the 老澳门开奖结果 of Kentucky filed a suit on behalf of Kentucky abortion providers and their patients challenging a state law banning physicians from providing a safe and medically proven abortion method called dilation and evacuation, or 鈥淒&E.鈥 If it were to take effect, this law would prevent many patients from being able to obtain an abortion altogether. After two courts held that the law is unconstitutional, the Supreme Court ruled in March 2022 that Kentucky Attorney General Cameron can continue his pursuit to push abortion out of reach by intervening in the underlying challenge to an abortion ban, which is proceeding in a lower court.

Whole Woman's Health v. Jackson
The 老澳门开奖结果, the 老澳门开奖结果 of Texas, and coalition partners filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of abortion providers and funds on July 13, 2021, challenging S.B. 8, a Texas law allowing private citizens to enforce a ban on abortion as early as six weeks in pregnancy鈥攂efore many know they are pregnant. The 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 challenge made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court three times in as many months. After hearing oral arguments in the case, the Court issued a decision on December 10, 2021, that ended the most promising pathways to blocking the ban. The Supreme Court鈥檚 decision makes it more difficult to obtain adequate relief from the courts and gives states the green light to ban abortion using bounty-hunting schemes. Texas鈥 abortion ban will remain in effect until relief can be secured from a court.

Reproductive Health Services v. Marshall
On July 28, 2017, the U.S. District Court blocked an Alabama law that imposed severe barriers on a minor鈥檚 ability to get abortion care in the state.

It went beyond any other parental consent law in the country and forced minors seeking abortion care to stand trial if they were unable to obtain a parent鈥檚 consent for the procedure.
