The White House announced a new federal rule on Wednesday aimed at protecting those who cross state lines for abortion care.This comes after a federal judge in Texas ruled to suspend the abortion medication mifepristone. A federal appeals court is weighing whether to block or uphold that ruling.Pennsylvania's Governor Josh Shapiro said that he cannot follow suit, however.
