US abortion debate

The case has pitted one Texas' abortion ban against New York's shield law for abortion providers

Maria Margarita Rojas faces criminal charges for allegedly providing abortions in Texas, where there is a near-total abortion ban.

Some states restrict access for women following the overturning of Roe v Wade.

The case appears to mark the first time a provider has faced criminal charges for mailing the medication.

"I think he is a horrible president when it comes to abortion," says one man who Trump pardoned yesterday.

The case - the first of its kind - will test what happens when state abortion laws are at odds.

Members of the task force had told ProPublica the state's abortion ban had led to women's deaths.

The ballot initiative in Florida would have allowed abortion until the point of foetal viability or about 24 weeks.
