They discuss the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, the ongoing battles over mifepristone in the courts, the rapidly evolving patchwork of state-level shield laws that are designed to protect patient privacy, how the withdrawal of Biden-era EMTALA guidance is reshaping emergency abortion care, and what to expect going forward.
