California Passes Bill Allowing Omission of Patients’ Names From Abortion Pill Bottles
[[link removed]]
California legislators have passed one of the strongest measures so far to protect health care providers who send abortion pills to states with abortion bans and the patients who receive them.
The bill, approved by wide margins in the State Assembly Wednesday night and the Senate Tuesday, is expected to be signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. It would allow health care providers to mail abortion pills with only a minimum of identifying information: Medication labels and paperwork in the packages could omit the name of the patient, prescriber and pharmacist. The legislation is expected to have broad national impact because a majority of medication abortion services across the country use pharmacies based in California to dispense and ship the medication.
The measure is intended to make it harder for states with abortion bans to develop evidence to make legal cases against doctors and others operating under shield laws that were adopted by many states to protect abortion pill prescribers after the Supreme Court revoked the national right to abortion. It is also intended to reassure women in states with bans who seek abortions and who may be afraid to obtain prescription pills, fearing they could be identified by the authorities if their name is on the bottle.
The abortion shield laws in at least eight states prevent officials from obeying subpoenas, extradition requests and other legal actions that states with bans take against abortion providers. That is a stark departure from typical interstate practices of cooperating in legal matters.

‘We Can Do Hard Things’: Abortion Providers Fight Back Against Rising Violence
[[link removed]]
Antiabortion violence isn’t new. But this year, the terrain shifted in dangerous ways: First, the Trump administration declared it would not enforce the federal law that had helped curtail attacks. Then Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman, a strong advocate for abortion rights, and her husband were brutally murdered.
This is not business as usual, abortion providers and advocates told Ms. But if the violence is meant to intimidate, it is failing. Providers are steadfast in their resolve to continue to offer abortion where it is legal, even as threats increase, even as states pass laws to reduce access, even as the federal government turns away.
Certainly, abortion providers and advocates are taking the recent surge in political and antiabortion violence seriously.
They are reinforcing security. They are keeping tabs on extremists affiliated with groups and networks like the Army of God, whose followers have murdered abortion providers and bombed clinics. They are working closely with local law enforcement in states where abortion remains legal. And in the absence of protection from the federal government, they are pushing those states to enact laws that will replace the safeguards offered by the federal FACE Act and to step up enforcement of existing measures.
