“Taliban fighters have stopped the sale of contraceptives in two of Afghanistan’s main cities, claiming their use by women is a western conspiracy to control the Muslim population,” The Guardian reports.

“The Guardian has learned that the Taliban has been going door to door, threatening midwives and ordering pharmacies to clear their shelves of all birth control medicines and devices.”

A South Carolina woman “was arrested earlier this week and charged with performing or soliciting an abortion,” the Columbia State reports.

“The incident report says the woman told medical personnel she had taken abortion pills to end a pregnancy. State law prohibits self-medication to abort a pregnancy. The fetus was stillborn and was determined to be 25 weeks and four days, according to the incident report.”

Walgreens won't dispense abortion pills in some Republican states
REUTERS 8:33 PM ET 3/2/2023

March 2 (Reuters) - Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc(WBA) on Thursday said it will not dispense abortion pills in the states of 20 Republican attorneys general who have told the pharmacy chain it risked breaking the law should it dispense them to the states by mail.

The decision comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowed retail pharmacies to dispense mifepristone pills, including by mail, provided they are certified under special safety rules for the drug.

A Walgreens spokesperson said the pharmacy's decision was in response to a letter from the attorneys general. They said Walgreens intended to become a certified pharmacy and would only dispense in jurisdictions where it was legal to do so.

CVS Health Corp (CVS), which also received the letter, did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.

News website Politico first reported Walgreens' position on Thursday.

Medication abortion, which accounts for more than half of U.S. abortions, has drawn increasing attention since the Supreme Court in June overturned a landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that had recognized abortion as a constitutional right nationwide.

Mifepristone, used in combination with another drug, misoprostol, is approved for abortion within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.
 
exGOPer said:
The Supreme Court is likely to clear the way for new anti-abortion laws in just a few months — but red states aren't waiting.

The big picture: Conservative legislatures are passing a raft of controversial new laws, many of which push the envelope further than the courts have ever allowed. But with the court poised to significantly weaken Roe v. Wade, if not overturn it altogether, red states appear confident that these new measures will stand.

State of play: As of May 5, 86 bills to restrict or outright ban the procedure have been introduced in 31 states this year alone, according to Guttmacher Institute data. Eight bans have been enacted in 2022, with two being blocked by lower courts.

  • "Out of all the proposed bans, anti-abortion policymakers have been focusing primarily on three types" per Guttmacher. Those are bans on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, "Texas-style" bans at around 6 weeks or less into a pregnancy, enforced via private lawsuits of abortion providers and patients, and "trigger" bans that will go into effect if the Supreme Court were to overturn or weaken Roe.
  • Wyoming is the latest state to enact a "trigger" law. There are currently 13 states with such laws.
Driving the news: Axios is tracking abortion bans as they move through state legislatures and will update this story regularly.

Abortion bans that have been enacted
Oklahoma: Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) signed a "Texas-style" bill that bans nearly all abortions starting at fertilization and went into effect immediately. It will be enforced by private civil action for a minimum $10,000 reward.

  • Stitt also signed into law another "Texas-style" bill that bans abortions after effectively six weeks of pregnancy, also enforced via private lawsuits. The law is already in effect.
  • Earlier in the spring, the governor also signed a bill making it a felony to provide an abortion, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $100,000. It has no rape or incest exceptions. The law is set to go into effect in November.
Florida: Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed into law a 15-week abortion ban which has no exceptions for rape or incest. It only allows for abortions to be performed past the 15 weeks if there's a medical emergency or a "fatal fetal abnormality."

  • The law is set to take effect on July 1.
Arizona: Gov. Doug Ducey (R) signed into law a legislation prohibiting abortions past the 15th week of pregnancy, except in cases of medical emergencies. There are no exceptions for rape or incest.

  • The law will go into effect in late June.
Texas: An unprecedented law has been in effect since September banning abortions in the state after effectively six weeks of pregnancy. The law encourages private citizens to sue anyone suspected of helping a person receive an abortion for a reward of at least $10,000.

  • No court, including the U.S. Supreme Court, has blocked the law.
Louisiana: Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) in 2018 signed into law a 15-week abortion ban.

  • The law states that it will go into effect if Mississippi's 15-week ban, which is being evaluated by the Supreme Court and is currently blocked, takes effect.
Abortion bans that have been blocked
Kentucky: The U.S. Western Kentucky District Court temporarily blocked a bill banning abortions in Kentucky after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The law also contains other abortion regulations, including forcing patients to report their abortions and file "birth-death" certificates.

  • The law went in effect after the state legislature overrode a veto from Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear.
  • Back in 2019, a federal court temporarily blocked a six-week ban shortly after it was signed into law by then-Gov. Matt Bevin (R), and the case remains open.
Idaho: The state Supreme Court temporarily blocked a bill modeled after Texas' six-week ban that would outlaw abortions in Idaho after around six weeks of pregnancy. The law was set to take effect on April 22, but is now stopped while legal challenges proceed.


  • Gov. Brad Little (R) had signed it into law in March, making it at the time the first state to enact a law modeled after Texas' ban.
Mississippi: Mississippi has a 15-week abortion ban that has been blocked by courts since 2018. The legislation is currently being considered by the U.S. Supreme Court, and a ruling on this case — expected as soon as June — could result in the end of Roe v. Wade.

South Carolina: A federal appeals court in February temporarily blocked the state's six-week ban while the legal proceedings on its constitutionality continue.

  • Gov. Henry McMaster signed the bill into law in February 2021. The same day it was enacted, Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights filed a lawsuit challenging the legislation.
Georgia: A federal court of appeals in 2021 temporarily blocked a six-week ban from taking effect, and a case challenging the law is currently on hold pending a Supreme Court decision on Mississippi's 15-week ban.

Missouri: Gov. Mike Parson (R) in 2019 signed into law a bill making abortions illegal after eight weeks of pregnancy. Planned Parenthood sued the state over the law, which was temporarily blocked by a district court that year, and a federal appeals court in 2021 upheld the ruling.

Arkansas Pushes Ahead With Anti-Abortion Memorial on State Capitol Grounds
https://www.thedailybeast.com/arkan...ti-abortion-memorial-on-state-capitol-grounds

The Arkansas House on Tuesday passed a bill to build a monument marking the number of abortions carried out in the state before the end of Roe v. Wade. The proposal to create a so-called monument to the unborn near the state Capitol was approved in a 60-19 vote.

The memorial, which would commemorate “unborn children aborted during the era of Roe v. Wade,” was opposed by Republican Rep. Jeremiah Moore on the grounds that it would represent a “poke in the eye to all those who do not share our beliefs.”

“It is not a poke in the eye,” Rep. Cindy Crawford said before the vote. “It is a ‘God forgive us for what we have done.’” After the Supreme Court struck down the 1973 Roe decision last year, Arkansas banned almost all abortions except in cases where it could save a mother’s life in a medical emergency.

“Idaho already has some of the most extreme abortion restrictions on the books, with nearly all abortions banned in the state and an affirmative defense law that essentially asserts any doctor who provides an abortion is guilty until proven innocent,” the HuffPost reports.

“And now Idaho Republicans have set their sights on hindering certain residents from traveling out of state to get an abortion.”
