This lawsuit is the first attempt to test what happens when state abortion laws are at odds with each other. New York has a shield law that protects providers from out-of-state investigations and prosecutions, which has served as implicit permission for a network of doctors to mail abortion pills into states that have banned the procedure.

You can file a lawsuit against large numbers of people if you're willing to pay the filing fee. That's different from getting anywhere in the suit.
