Late last month, the city council in Bristol, Virginia-a small city in the southwest corner of the state-began reviewing an unusual zoning proposal: an ordinance that would restrict abortion within the city's borders.This is among the first attempts to restrict abortion at the local level (rather than via state law) since the Supreme Court's June decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization In states like Virginia-where abortion is legal but not explicitly protected by state law-it's not clear if or how localities can restrict abortion.
