Abstract

Abortion Shield LawsThe overturning of Roe v. Wade has created new obstacles for physicians providing reproductive health care. Cohen et al. review the new development of abortion shield laws, which some abortion-supportive states have passed to protect physicians from attempts by states with abortion bans to enforce their laws beyond their borders.
