The Epoch Times: In Wake of Roe Reversal, Abortion-Related Legal Battles Increase
Pro-abortion state and local governments are filing lawsuits against pro-life pregnancy help organizations (PHOs) that provide support to women considering alternatives to abortion. These actions have intensified since the 2022 Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson, which returned abortion regulation to the states.
Blue states like California, New York, and Illinois are particularly active in these legal efforts, claiming PHOs misinform women and pose health risks. Pro-life advocates argue these lawsuits infringe on free speech rights and hinder their ability to offer support to pregnant women.

The current system, which splits electoral votes by congressional district, has historically benefited Republicans, but has also allowed Democrats to gain votes in certain areas. Political analysts suggest that changes in Nebraska's voting rules could prompt similar actions in Maine, reflecting broader concerns about the impact of electoral systems on presidential races.
