The 15-week law passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature and signed by GOP Gov. Doug Ducey in March was enacted in hopes the U.S. Supreme Court would pare back limits on abortion regulations. Ducey, who signed every abortion restriction bill that reached his desk during his eight years in office, also cheered the 15-week ban. Like virtually all abortion providers in the state, she stopped both surgical and medication abortions after the Supreme Court threw out Roe. “Why would I be doing something illegal and asking her to do the same?”Ultimately, the nurse agreed to help, but only with non-surgical abortions, Taylor said.

As polls show Democrats taking a narrow lead on the national congressional ballot, several GOP Senate candidates have gone so far as to scrub their campaign websites of the hard-line anti-abortion stances they took during the primaries. O'Dea is also the only top GOP Senate prospect Trump hasn't endorsed. It's how you vote — and Democrats say O'Dea's abortion position means he wouldn't back legislation to reinstate Roe's protections. Whether O’Dea’s abortion message breaks through — and whether Coloradans even have any appetite for a message like his these days — remains to be seen. Yet since then — since Bennet has started hammering O'Dea on abortion — only one new survey has surfaced.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — (AP) — California launched a publicly funded website on Tuesday to promote the state's abortion services, listing clinics, linking to financial help for travel and lodging and letting teenagers in other states know they don't need their parents permission to get an abortion in the state. The state budget includes $200 million to strengthen access to abortion in California, including money to build a website promoting the state's abortion services. There's a map showing the location of 166 abortion clinics statewide. It says people who live in California might be able to get abortion medication by mail, foregoing the need to visit a clinic. Anti-abortion advocates have lamented the use of public funds to boost such services, arguing California has a myriad of other problems more deserving of public funding.

The Supreme Court earlier this year overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion.

After Roe was overturned, polls have shown a sharp drop in approval. Roberts says the court's role should not be called into question just because people disagree with its decisions.

The vice president said women should have the right to make decisions about their own bodies, but "this court took that constitutional right away."

DENVER — (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday defended the authority of the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution, saying its role should not be called into question just because people disagree with its decisions. When asked to reflect on the last year at the court in his first public appearance since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Roberts said he was concerned that lately some critics of the court’s controversial decisions have questioned the legitimacy of the court, which he said was a mistake. “If the court doesn’t retain its legitimate function of interpreting the constitution, I’m not sure who would take up that mantle. He also said it was “gut wrenching” to drive into the Supreme Court that was surrounded by barricades every day. The leaked draft was largely incorporated into Justice Samuel Alito's final opinion in June that overturned Roe v. Wade in a case upholding Mississippi's law banning abortion after 15 weeks.

The leak to Politico of Justice Samuel A. Alito’s draft opinion shocked the Supreme Court, which prides itself on keeping internal deliberations secret.

Senators did pass a change that cuts the time that victims of rape and incest who become pregnant can seek an abortion from 20 weeks to 12 weeks.

Gorsuch said the committee investigating the leak "has been busy" and added that he's "looking forward to their report, I hope soon."

Since the Supreme Court in June overturned Roe v. Wade, the court case that gave Americans the right to an abortion, more women are turning to Plan B, the nation's most recognized morning-after pill. Although it's available over the counter, Plan B is not always accessible. Now, even more restrictions could be on the way for Plan B. Many anti-abortion activists argue that any interference with an egg is considered an abortion; medical professionals say otherwise. So what does the future look like for Plan B?

The 30 Republicans in the 46-member chamber had a majority to pass the ban, but did not have the extra votes to end a threatened filibuster by Republican Sen. Tom Davis.

Davis said he promised his daughters he would not vote to make South Carolina's current six-week abortion ban stricter because women have rights, too. After a recess to work through their options, Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey conceded the abortion ban likely couldn't pass. “We were never going to pass a total abortion ban," Massey said. South Carolina's six-week ban is currently suspended as the state Supreme Court reviews whether it violates privacy rights. ”I don’t think abortion should be used as birth control.”Senate Minority Leader Brad Hutto said Republican women stood up for all women in South Carolina, while Republican men let them down.

Abortion currently remains legal in Michigan, a perennial swing state, following a flurry of legal back-and-forth in the aftermath of the June U.S. Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe. “RFFA is heading to the Michigan Supreme Court to ask that the Board of State Canvassers do their jobs. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June, Michigan has emerged as the most hotly contested battleground for abortion rights. A state law from 1931 that makes abortion a felony was superseded by Roe but never removed from the books. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has waged a fierce battle to protect abortion rights and prevent the nearly century-old law from taking effect.

The calls came as part of a regular review of U.N. member states by the committee. A large delegation of U.S. officials, including Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, traveled to Geneva earlier this month for hearings that fed into the committee's thinking about the rights of ethnic and racial minorities in the U.S. It expressed concerns about an increase in new legislation with a “disproportionate impact” on minorities. It called on the U.S. to ensure that women seeking an abortion — or the health care providers who assist them — “are not subjected to criminal penalties.”Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.
