Joined, as one of two doctor plaintiffs, a lawsuit filed on 2023-09-11 challenging how Tennessee's abortion ban treats pregnancy emergencies. On 2024-10-17 a three-judge court partly granted early relief: it named four pregnancy complications that fall under the ban's medical exception and barred the state medical boards from disciplining the two doctors for treating them. The court refused to block criminal enforcement of the ban, and the case was still pending in 2026.
