Louisiana, Arkansas, and Alabama have announced that they are suing New York, California, and Massachusetts over abortion-pill “shield laws.”
Right before the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, the hostility surrounding the abortion debate was at a high. Pro-life clinics were being attacked, threats were frequent. There was real concern about violence that June. Mercifully, street violence did not break out in the board-the-windows kind of way that we had seen during the Black Lives Matter days. There’s violence, for sure — abortion is the most intimate violence, after all — but not in the way people were concerned it might manifest. The reality is subtler.
