Sponsor Message "Dr. Braid has courageously stood up against this blatantly unconstitutional law," Center for Reproductive Rights president and CEO Nancy Northup said in a statement.

The FBI reported last year that violent threats against abortion providers had risen partly because of a "recent rise in state legislative activities related to abortion services and access."
