Abortion opponents shift focus to pills with lawsuits, proposed laws and possible federal action

The battles over abortion in the U.S. are increasingly focusing on the pills that are now the most common way pregnancies are ended. Texas sued a New York doctor this month over a prescription to a Texas resident. It could become the first test of a shield law that New York and some other Democratic-controlled states have passed to protect medical providers who make that kind of prescription via telehealth. There's also a lawsuit aimed at rolling back federal approval for one of the drugs. And states are considering laws to make them harder to obtain for abortion.
