Federal government and U.S. states fight over abortion law

The battle between federal and state laws governing abortion in the United States is heating up.

Texas has become the first state to sue the Biden Administration over a federal law that requires doctors to provide abortions in medical emergencies.

The suit comes as the U.S. House on Friday passed a bill protecting a woman’s right to cross state lines to obtain the medical procedure.
