More miscarriages criminally investigated three years into post-Dobbs abortion bans
NEWS FROM THE STATES
This year, “equal protection” model bills crafted with the help of groups like Abolitionists Rising and the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, were introduced in several states, including: Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas. Most of these bills died in committee, but activists said they’ve seen more support from state lawmakers than in any other year.
“So far this year, 122 state lawmakers have sponsored equal protection bills, easily eclipsing every other past session,” said Bradley Pierce, a constitutional attorney and president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, in an email. He said 16 such bills were introduced in 14 states this year.
