WASHINGTON — Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is launching a fresh round of questioning on states’ limits to abortion rights as a battle on medication abortion hangs in the balance at a federal court.

It’s not the first time the Massachusetts Democrat has aimed questions at these organizations, which include the American Medical Association, Physicians for Reproductive Health, National Nurses United, the American Pharmacists Association, and the American Hospital Association. She asked the same set of groups last summer how the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade impacted women’s health care, and reported in October that the groups warned about “diminished access” to pregnancy care and abortion bans that “will exacerbate existing health inequities.”
