The New York state legislature approved a bill Tuesday that will protect medical providers for serving those who live in states with bans on abortion.This law could expand the use of telehealth for those seeking abortions, especially those who are from states who have restricted access to abortion care. The bill will shield providers from out-of-state litigation by saying that New York officials will not help a state with an abortion ban that attempts to pursue legal action against a New York telemedicine provider that offers abortion to a patient living in a state with a ban.Those providers will be protected as long as they are in compliance with New York law, according to the bill. The bill states that no state or local government employee in New York “shall cooperate” with an individual or out-of-state agency “regarding any legally protected health activity in this state.”"As anti-choice extremists continue to roll back reproductive care across the country, New York remains a san...St. Louis aldermen consider short-term rental reforms crime prevention tactic

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A Missouri judge on Tuesday gave the state's attorney general 24 hours to certify how much it would cost the state to put an abortion rights initiative petition on the ballot.Roughly half of the country has an initiative petition process, allowing voters to gather a certain number of signatures to put a proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot. Last week, two Missouri Democratic lawmakers spoke with leaders from other states, telling them they believe the only way abortion becomes legal again in the Show Me State is through an initiative petition."That's why we see the GOP trying to make it more and more difficult for folks to have an initiative petition process that will successfully put this on the ballot, because they know this is what their constituents ultimately want," Rep.
