Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall insisted in a recent court filing that prosecuting people who make arrangements for women to travel to other states for abortions is well within the scope of Alabama law.
In July, abortion advocates filed lawsuits against Mr. Marshall following his statement that organizations that aid pregnant women in Alabama to get an abortion out of state could be put under criminal investigation. One of the groups that filed a lawsuit is the Yellowhammer Fund, which provides funding and practical support to Alabama women trying to obtain abortions in other states.
