1) ALABAMA PLANS TO PROSCUTE WOMEN SEEKING OUT-OF-STATE ABORTIONS
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall (R) argued he has the right to prosecute people who provide and facilitate travel for out-of-state abortion access on "criminal conspiracy charges" in a new court filing. “An elective abortion performed in Alabama would be a criminal offense; thus, a conspiracy formed in the State to have that same act performed outside the State is illegal,” he said.
2) Alabama Just Said It Will Use Drug Laws to Prosecute Women for Taking Abortion Pills
Law and Crime News, Jan 12, 2023Alabama intends to criminally prosecute women who use abortion pills to terminate a pregnancy, using an old law adopted to protect children from cocaine and other drugs, the attorney general has announced.
The announcement fell just days after the FDA changed its regulations to make a commonly-used abortion pill far more accessible than it has ever been.
Alabama has a near-total ban on abortions called the Alabama Human Life Protection Act (AHLPA), which was signed into law by the state’s Republican governor Kay Ivey in 2019. At the time the law was adopted, it was unenforceable as an unconstitutional deprivation of liberty under the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the First Amendment in Roe v. Wade.
