Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, center rear, and abortion rights supporters listen as Dr. Sarah Prager, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Washington, speaks to reporters during a news conference in Seattle, Tuesday, June 11, 2024. Inslee announced that Washington state will spell out in state law that hospitals must provide abortions if needed to stabilize patients, a step that comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule this month on whether conservative states can bar abortions during some medical emergencies.
