Litigation Content
Why this Matters:
The Plaintiffs argue that a state law that criminalizes speech and travel concerning access to legal abortion care is void for vagueness, discriminates against content- and viewpoint-based speech, and is unconstitutionally overbroad under the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Aiding travel ensures that individuals living in states that prohibit abortion can access safe abortion elsewhere.
Potential Impact:
Restricting speech and preventing assistance to individuals seeking care outside of their state will exacerbate the health harms of individuals who already face significant hardships in accessing safe abortion health care.
