DOJ paid more than $1 million in settlement to anti-abortion protester — after a federal judge tossed his suit Abortion opponents celebrated news of the settlement, while career prosecutors said it’s another example of Donald Trump’s DOJ kowtowing to once-prosecuted abortion opponents.

Of course they did, because the current federal administration is nothing but a bunch of anti-abortion fascists.

We're thankful for states that are investing in access to #abortion care...and, at the same time, no one should have to travel outside of their city, county, or state to access an abortion, which is basic healthcare.

*Update on North Carolina abortion clinics*

You may have heard the independent abortion clinic in Greensboro, A Woman's Choice, closed last week. Please see our "A Guide for Accessing Reproductive Healthcare in North Carolina" to find care in NC: prochoicenc.org/2023/06/28/g...

Despite restrictions, North Carolina is a hub for out-of-state abortions Of the 47,930 abortions provided by abortion clinics in North Carolina in 2025, more than 17,000 were from patients traveling from out of state.

“What you're seeing is people having to leave NC if they need to access abortion after 12 weeks, or they're also potentially coming into NC b/c they are not able to access abortion in their own state.” - Tara Romano, Pro-Choice NC ED

With stricter laws across the Southeast, NC remains an access point for abortion care Out-of-state patients got more than one-third of the abortions provided in North Carolina in 2025, as telehealth expands as a pathway to care.

It's actually not surprising how many people travel to North Carolina to access #abortion care, because we are (even with all the medically unnecessary restrictions) still as island of access in the South.

While families are paying more at the grocery store, the gas pump, and for health care, Michael Whatley supports tariffs that drive prices higher for North Carolina consumers and farmers.

I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness of the ruling. But it is limited to one lady in Colorado who may get a preliminary injunction allowing her to perform conversion talk therapy. It's a narrow ruling. The merits are still live. We gotta live in that narrowness. ADF wants us to despair.
