A religious hospital denied her a life-saving drug during an ectopic pregnancy. She lost her fertility
“I kept asking her to help me,” she said. But Coll refused to administer methotrexate, Perrone alleged. As she remembered it, the doctor told her “we have to weigh out the life of the mother and the baby, and there’s a 1% chance that there is a baby in there”. When Perrone asked about her right to an abortion under Illinois law, the doctor said “you’re not going to bully me into doing this”, Perrone said...

The Infuriating History of the Law That Doomed Abortion Rights – Mother Jones
If it hadn't been for the sex scandal that torpedoed his political career, Bob Bauman might have gone down in history as a run-of-the-mill Republican tightwad with a fetish for offshore tax avoidance. Instead, in 1980, an FBI investigation revealed that the Maryland congressman and married father of four had been drunkenly cruising the streets of Washington, DC, behind the wheel of a Lincoln Continental with congressional plates, picking up men and paying them for sex. At least one of the men turned out to be a boy of 16. Bauman was far from exceptional as a closeted gay man in DC, but he was exceptional as a closeted gay man who was widely considered one of the most conservative members of Congress…
Like many of the men involved in the early days of the Hyde Amendment, Bauman was a devout Catholic…

Catholic organizations are bankrolling campaigns against abortion-rights measures, spending more than $1.9 million so far in five of the 10 states where such measures are on the ballot, according to a joint investigation by National Catholic Reporter and Mother Jones...

Opinion | The Comstock Act Is a Danger to Abortion Rights. I Want to Repeal It. - The New York Times
The whole thing was very silly and impracticable, and that's why the Comstock Act was relegated to the dustbin of history.
But conservative activists recently revived it from obscurity as part of their playbook for a potential second Trump term: The 887-page plan nicknamed Project 2025 being promoted by groups like the Heritage Foundation explicitly calls for a newly elected second-term President Trump to use this zombie law to severely ratchet back abortion access in America without congressional action...

Kansans Voted to Protect Abortion Rights. Republicans Are Still Trying to Ban Them. – Mother Jones
The legislation seems to be in direct conflict with rulings by the state supreme court, which held in 2019 that access to abortion is a "fundamental" right in the state. Kansas Republicans have repeatedly tried to override the 2022 vote that affirmed the state supreme court's finding, with Solicitor General Tony Powell telling the court's justices in March 2023 that the August vote "doesn't matter." A majority of the justices expressed skepticism of that position…

10 surprises since Roe v. Wade fell - POLITICO
But several developments defied predictions: Conservative lawmakers at the state and federal levels have struggled to agree on the parameters of abortion bans, while progressive groups have clashed over how far to go in expanding access. Doctors in states with bans have reported hesitancy around providing even legal care because of vague new policies and the fear of prosecution. Voters in Kansas, Kentucky and Montana rejected attempts to curtail access, and Democrats held the Senate in part because of their promise to protect abortion rights...
