Bonta Challenges Abortion Law

California Attorney General Rob Bonta, alongside 20 other attorneys general, has taken a stand against Tennessee's harsh "abortion trafficking" law. This legislation, which criminalizes helping minors obtain legal abortion care outside the state, poses a serious threat to constitutional rights and public health. The coalition is urging the Sixth Circuit to maintain a lower court's injunction against this law.
