A New York state court has blocked Texas prosecutors from filing legal action against a New York doctor who prescribed and sent abortion pills to a woman in Texas. The Ulster Country clerk of court refused to recognize Texas’ filing and cited New York’s abortion shield laws as protecting the New York-based doctor from legal action for providing abortion care. This is likely to set up a legal battle, bringing this issue to a federal court to decide which state’s laws count, how and when. MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin breaks it down.

President Trump said that he’ll “be known as the fertilization president” while speaking at a Women’s History Month event in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, saying “I’ve been called much worse.”
In February, Pres. Trump signed an executive order directing the administration to find ways to reduce the costs of in vitro fertilization, or IVF, for those who struggle with fertility. Health insurance companies are not currently required to cover IVF treatments, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
That order came weeks after a separate one signed by the president, in which he directed federal prosecutors to scale back on enforcement of a federal law known as the FACE Act, which makes it illegal to harm, threaten or interfere with a person obtaining or providing reproductive health services, or to damage a facility where those services are provided. A Department Justice memo, obtained by CBS News, instructs prosecutors to enforce the law only in “extraordinary circumstances” or in instances when death, wherein extreme bodily harm or significant property damage result. Most other cases will be left to state or local law enforcement. #trump #women #womenshistorymonth #womenshealth #ivf #reproductivehealth #fertility

President Donald Trump’s use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport hundreds of Venezuelan migrants, without due process, could now end up in front of the Supreme Court. An appeals court upheld a ruling blocking the administration from using the rare wartime authority for deportations, a decision the White House said it plans to appeal. PBS News Hour's Laura Barrón-López spoke to ACLU's Lee Gelernt, the lead counsel in the case suing the federal government. "We don't think this wartime authority can be used during peacetime," Gelernt said. "And certainly, if it can be used, there has to be some due process, because many of these men dispute that they're gang members." #news #pbsnews #pbs #trump #aclu
