What are abortion shield laws?
Time
|March 24, 2025
In the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022, many states have moved to protect the right to abortion, and several have turned to a new tool to do so: abortion shield laws.
Enacted in 18 states and Washington, D.C., abortion shield laws are “novel protections,” according to Lizzy Hinkley, senior state legislative counsel at the Center for Reproductive Rights, which helped draft some of them. The laws are meant to protect providers practicing in states where abortion is legal, from civil and criminal actions taken by states with bans or restrictions on abortion. The laws also cover patients and people who help a patient access abortion. The protections vary by state, but can include the shield state’s refusal to comply with another state’s extradition order for a doctor who has provided reproductive-health care that’s legally protected in the shield state and refusal to participate in another state’s investigation into the provider.

OUR AGE OF DISTRUST
In 1624, the English poet John Donne wrote, “No man is an island entire of itself.” And yet in 2026, the Edelman Trust Barometer finds that 7 out of 10 people across 28 nations are hesitant or unwilling to trust people who have different values, approaches to societal problems, or backgrounds than they do. For most people, distrust is now the default instinct. Only one-third tell us most people can be trusted.

The D.C. Brief
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP LAST year successfully wrestled control of one of the nation's dominant performing-arts stages with unheard-of efficiency. He ousted its leader, installed a loyalist at the helm, made himself the chairman of its reconstituted board, scrambled its programing calendar, alienated cultural leaders, exiled its resident opera company, declared himself the M.C. of its biggest fundraising gala, and treated it like an annex of the White House for events that cast him as the headliner.
