Walgreens Faces Boycott Calls After Saying It Won ’ t Ship Abortion Drug to Some States Where It ’ s Legal
Calls to boycott Walgreens swelled online on Friday after America’s second-largest drugstore said it will not distribute mifepristone, a drug that is the most common method of abortion in the country, in some states where it remains legal.
The announcement, first reported by Politico, comes after 20 Republican attorneys general sent a letter to the company threatening it with legal action if it distributed the drug in their states, including some where abortion isn’t banned.
Walgreens said it had responded to each attorney general to say it wouldn’t distribute the pill in their states, Politico reported....

Judge Halts FDA Approval of Abortion Pill Mifepristone
AUSTIN, Texas — A federal judge in Texas on Friday ordered a hold on U.S. approval of the abortion medication mifepristone, throwing into question access to the nation’s most common method of abortion in a ruling that waved aside decades of scientific approval.
The immediate impact of the ruling by U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk, which does not go into immediate effect, was unclear.
The abortion drug has been widely used in the U.S. since 2000 and there is essentially no precedent for a lone judge overruling the medical decisions of the Food and Drug Administration. Mifepristone is one of two drugs us...

Federal Appeals Court Preserves Access to Abortion Drug That Texas Judge Had Blocked
AUSTIN, Texas — A federal appeals court preserved access to the abortion pill mifepristone for now but reduced the period of pregnancy when the drug can be used and said it could not be dispensed by mail.
The ruling late Wednesday temporarily narrowed a decision by a lower court judge in Texas that had completely blocked the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the nation’s most commonly used method of abortion. The Texas order unsettled abortion providers less than a year after the reversal of Roe v. Wade already dramatically curtailed abortion access.
The case may now be headed to the U.S. Supreme...

Florida ’ s Six-Week Abortion Ban Would Limit Access Across the South
In a move that could reshape access to abortions for pregnant people in Florida and the surrounding region, Gov. Ron DeSantis recently signed a ban on abortions after just six weeks of pregnancy. Although the state is still awaiting a verdict from the Florida Supreme Court on whether a 15-week ban signed into law last July can continue to be upheld, this even stricter bill is now waiting in the wings to replace it.
That move would be a sharp right turn for the state. Until recently, Florida has, for the most part, been an easier place to receive abortion care than most states that surround it. Before the 15-week ban passe...

Conference restates UNISON ’ s campaign for abortion rights
Delegates at UNISON’s national delegate conference last week reaffirmed the union’s commitment to campaign for the decriminalisation of abortion in England, Scotland and Wales.
Greenwich Local Government branch proposed a motion on defending abortion rights, which was described as “very important and timely” in the light of the overturning of Roe v Wade by the US Supreme Court last year, “the biggest attack on abortion rights since the 1970s,” and the recent jailing in the UK of mother of three Carla Foster for ending her pregnancy.
Speaking for the national executive council (NEC) in support of the motion, Liz...

Evolving capacity and decision-making in practice: adolescents' access to legal abortion services in Mexico City
This study in Mexico City in 2009 explored whether regulations and clinical attitudes and practice were supporting or hindering the access of adolescent girls aged 12–17 to information regarding abortion and to abortion services. We surveyed abortion clinic directors and staff, and adolescents arranging or just having had an abortion, and sent mystery clients to clinics to ask for information. While providers were generally positive about adolescents' ability to decide on abortion, they had different understandings about the need for adult accompaniment and who that adult should be, and mystery clients seeking informatio...

Abortion law reform in Nepal
Abstract: Across four decades of political and social action, Nepal changed from a country strongly enforcing oppressive abortion restrictions, causing many poor women’s long imprisonment and high rates of abortion-related maternal mortality, into a modern democracy with a liberal abortion law. The medical and public health communities supported women’s rights activists in invoking legal principles of equality and non-discrimination as a basis for change. Legislative reform of the criminal ban in 2002 and the adoption of an Interim Constitution recognizing women’s reproductive rights as fundamental rights in 2007 ins...
