In the wake of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, there have been concerted efforts in states across the country and by the Trump administration to further limit access to abortion, but also to reproductive healthcare access and rights more broadly.
These efforts have not gone unchecked. A coalition of Democratic state attorneys general across the country have been working in concert to counteract many of these measures and to protect access to reproductive healthcare within their states—through enacting safe harbor or shield laws, defending state laws and constitutional provisions providing residents with the right to provide and obtain abortions, and filing lawsuits against the Trump administration and other states where necessary, to name a few.
Within this coalition, another pattern emerges: the role of Democratic women attorneys general fighting back against efforts to undermine reproductive justice. This group of attorneys general includes Vermont AG Charity Clark, Arizona AG Kris Mayes, Delaware AG Kathy Jennings, Massachusetts AG Andrea Campbell and Michigan AG Dana Nessel.
