Abortion

A warrant for the arrest of a California doctor is a rare charge of violating one of the state abortion bans that has taken effect since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 and allowed enforcement.

A group of more than 20 states, including California, are suing the Trump administration over efforts to cut Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood. The lawsuit challenges part of President Donald Trump's big tax law that cut reimbursements to major providers of family planning services.

In its first two weeks, the Trump administration went further to restrict abortion than any president since the original Roe decision in 1973.
