House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter Monday to House Democrats outlining possible next steps to expand abortion access after the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade.

"While this extremist Supreme Court works to punish and control the American people, Democrats must continue our fight to expand freedom in America. Doing so is foundational to our oath of office and our fidelity to the Constitution," she wrote.

Pelosi said possible next steps include protecting women's personal data in reproductive apps so it can't be used against them in a state that criminalizes abortion as well as making it clear Americans have the right to travel freely throughout the U.S. in response to states attempting to criminalize those who travel out-of-state for an abortion.

She added that she will work to pass legislation that codifies a woman's right to an abortion, which was passed by the House in September 2021 but blocked in the Senate.

Pelosi added legislation will also be introduced to "further codify" marriage equality and women's access to contraception and IVF, after Justice Clarance Thomas wrote in a concurring opinion the court should reexamine rulings on these topics.

Abortion rights groups filed a lawsuit Monday to prevent Kentucky's trigger ban from going into effect after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade last week.

Under the law, anybody who performs or attempts to perform an abortion will be charged with a Class D felony, punishable by one to five years in prison. The only exception is if the mother's health is at risk.

The groups that filed the suit -- American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of Kentucky, and Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaiʻi, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky -- argue the ban goes against the Kentucky Constitution, which protects the right to privacy and bodily autonomy.

In the lawsuit, the groups are also seeking to block a six-week abortion ban that was previously blocked by a federal court.

A state court blocked Louisiana's trigger law banning abortion from going into effect on Monday after a petition was filed earlier in the day by the Center for Reproductive Rights and Boies Schiller Flexner LLP.

The petition was filed on behalf Hope Medical Group for Women -- a clinic located in Shreveport -- arguing that the trigger ban was "vague" and didn't explicitly state when a provider could interfere to save a woman's life.

Abortion care will resume in the state and a hearing has been set for July 8.

Abortion providers have teamed up with a law firm to challenge Louisiana's trigger ban following the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade.

The Center for Reproductive Rights and Boies Schiller Flexner LLP filed a petition Monday on behalf of Hope Medical Group for Women -- a clinic located in Shreveport -- its administrator Kathaleen Pittman and Medical Students for Choice requesting emergency relief from the ban.

The ban does not allow abortions in most instances except if the mother's life is at risk. However, the doctor must make an effort to save the life of both the other and the fetus before performing an abortion.

The plaintiffs argue Louisiana's trigger laws are "vague" and that it's impossible to tell what constitutes as the mother's life being at risk.

“Seeking reproductive care is already difficult in the U.S., especially in Louisiana," said Pittman in a statement.

She continued, "We are committed to this monumental legal challenge -- not to perpetuate an endless political battle, but to ensure our patients’ wellbeing and so that they may draw strength from our dedication to this fight.”

Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra announced Tuesday the agency is taking steps to expand access to abortion after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade.

"Friday’s Supreme Court decision was despicable. But it was not unpredictable,” he said at a press conference.

He continued, “There is no magic bullet. But if there is something we can do, we will find it and we will do it at HHS.”

As part of the "action plan," Becerra said the agency will increase access to medication abortion, with federal law already requiring programs to provide medication abortion in certain cases like rape, incest and when woman's life in is danger.

He said he's also directing the HHS civil rights office to ensure patient privacy and non-discrimination for those seeking reproductive care and for providers.

In addition, Becerra said he is directing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to make sure family planning care, including contraceptives, are covered.
