Alabama's attorney general is insisting that he has the right to prosecute people who help pregnant women obtain out-of-state abortions. In a court filing earlier this week, Steve Marshall said such actions amount to criminal conspiracy.
Marshall's filing comes as part of a case involving the Yellowhammer Fund, a nonprofit that bills itself as an "abortion advocacy and reproductive justice organization." The group and two women's health centers—the West Alabama Women's Center and the
Alabama Women's Center—sued Marshall in July over the attorney general's suggestion he could go after groups that help pregnant Alabamans get out-of-state abortions.
