New KFF Trackers
Document State and Federal Reproductive Rights Litigation Across the
Country
KFF has created two new
trackers to follow swift-moving reproductive rights litigation in the
state and federal courts. The tools, which are currently tracking the
status of 21 state cases in 15 states and eight federal cases, will be
updated regularly as the litigation proceeds.
Major cases pending in
federal and state courts could impact access to abortion and
contraceptive care for millions across the US. In fact, a federal
district court is considering a case that holds the future of medication
abortion nationwide in the balance and the Department of Health and Human
Services has appealed a case that has blocked contraceptive access
without parental consent for teens in Texas. In addition, abortion bans
in 14 states have been challenged in 20 ongoing cases in state
courts.
Use the state
tracker to follow the progression of each state case in the
context of whether state abortion bans are in effect. Explore the federal
tracker to keep up with litigation in federal courts that
involves access to contraception and abortion, including the federal
regulations or policies being challenged and the bases for the
challenges.
