Alabama women who use pills to induce abortions may face prosecution from the state, the state's attorney general said.
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Alabama's Human Life Protection Act went into effect. It made it a felony for anyone in the state to perform an abortion unless the mother's life is at risk, but it exempted the people receiving an abortion from liability.
“It does not provide an across-the-board exemption from all criminal laws, including the chemical-endangerment law — which the Alabama Supreme Court has affirmed and reaffirmed protects unborn children.” Some states have already taken preventive measures against the abortion pills. In Tennessee, doctors must be physically present for the administration of abortion medication, and the state outlaws mailing the drug or allowing pharmacists to dispense it. An Indiana law bans abortion medication after 10 weeks of pregnancy, and Texas has banned it after seven weeks.
