#NY has a #ShieldLaw that is intended to protect #AbortionProviders who send medications to patients in other states.
New York is 1 of 8 states that have enacted “telemedicine abortion shield laws” after #SCOTUS overturned the national right to an #abortion in 2022. The laws prevent ofcls from extraditing abortion providers to other states or from responding to subpoenas & other #legal actions…
The action by the NY court is the first time that an abortion shield law has been used.
The pardons came ahead of Friday's annual anti-#abortion protest March for Life in Washington.
Anti-abortion advocates had been pushing for #Trump to #pardon the anti-abortion protesters charged with violating the 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which is intended to protect #AbortionClinics from #obstruction & #threats & was adopted amid a rise in #violence against #AbortionProviders.

🚨🚨🚨 #SCOTUS Justice #ClarenceThomas agreed with the ruling but filed a concurrence CHALLENGING the Court's THIRD PARTY STANDING DOCTRINE--the doctrine that allowed #AbortionProviders to file #lawsuits challenging #abortion #laws on behalf of their #patients.
This OPENS the door to further litigation. Concurring opinions even dissenting opinions are considered #legal #PersuasiveAuthority & can be cited in subsequent cases.

“The Republican Party of Texas is considering a platform that appears to endorse the death penalty for abortion providers and patients.
Texas delegates voted on a 2024 platform at the state’s GOP Convention on Saturday and aim to tally the votes by Wednesday to finalize their platform for the coming year.”
