Alabama Rally Against Injustice march for reproductive rights in BirminghamShortly after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last week, Alabama’s abortion ban went into effect -- a law only authorizing an abortion to be performed when the health of the mother is in danger and criminalizing the act in all other cases.The state’s top law enforcement official is still weighing the legality of such a case.
Last week, state Rep. Chris England, D-Huntsville, who doubles as the chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party, tweeted a section of Alabama law separate from the abortion ban to argueEngland was referring to Section 13A-4-4 of the Alabama Code governing “conspiracy formed in this state to commit crime elsewhere indictable here.”
“So someone that aids and abets or participates in a conspiracy to facilitate the performance of an abortion or an attempt can’t be charged with conspiracy?” England responded. “Also, there is no ‘we’ in that scenario. For now, the woman can’t be charged but the person that aids and abets can.”
WarOnDumb So if I travel to Vegas to gamble can I be arrested since it’s illegal in Alabama? 🤦♂️
How did women in our state suddenly go from being full citizens of the United States to being the property of Alabama, where their highest purpose is pregnancy, with their travel, work, lives, etc. monitored and restricted? This is insane. Alabama women are not chattel.
Next, Alabama will be lowering the age of consent so that perverted conservative men will finally get what they want. My 10 year old told me today that she thought Alabama is going to force every girl to marry a man and it would be illegal to not be married.
What a person does outside of Alabama is no fucking business of the people in Alabama. What decisions someone makes in a doctor’s office also is none of your fucking business.
Now do y'all see why I've been b*tching for the past 6 months? I know where I live & who these people are. Now I'm gonna have to have a vaginal ultrasound, physical exam just for fun, pee on a stick & have a dog sniff my cooter before I can leave the damn state. Freedumb!
This is the real reason why they want to build 2 new prisons - cause they're gonna be locking everybody up. There's a lotta $$$ in private prisons.
“We are reviewing the matter and have no comment at this time” Because you know you fucking can't. You going to go after Uber drivers? Taxi drivers? Pilots for Delta, AA? Or what? Ban all travel for pregnant women out of state and watch the lawsuits run your state bankrupt?
Backward ass state...y'all keep electing republicans because they hate who you hate. Meanwhile hurting yourselves because republican policies don't do shit for most Alabamians
Tell Steve to mind his buisness
Alabama had a chance to set itself apart from Mississippi & choose to be the progressive state that so many younger Alabamians & intelligent older Alabamians want it to be. Abortion IS medical care. Returning to the 19th century is a misguided choice praised by anti progress folk
It’s accessory to murder.
WarOnDumb Just try and prove it Stevie...
WarOnDumb Isn’t HE under investigation?
Marshall should focus his time and efforts on public corruption, including incompetent utility entities. Like the Prichard Water Board.
It’s the murder of a state citizen….lock up the Dr, mother and the driver.
Yes, just don't travel back, be free
So besides the Alabama government controlling uteruses, controlling travel now? White supremacist evangelicals sure are loving this bs.
I'd say there's no way in hell that survives its first legal challenge, but then who knows any more?
NONE❗️ OF❗️ YOUR❗️ DAMN❗️ BUSINESS❗️
who TF cares? It's Draconian
It doesn't matter who pays for out-of-state travel expenses. Alabama has nothing to do with it. Alabama even refuses to Expand Medicaid. Stop the stupid....
This is insanity. Pure insanity.
Unenforceable…
WarOnDumb If it’s a states rights issue (basis of Supreme Court decision), how can they have ANY say in what a person does in another state? How could that ever be enforced Almost like it was never about states’ rights.
Here's the dilemma for AGSteveMarshall Right now, loosing-Roe DOESN'T affect GOP Politicians with $$ to get to safe abortions. But, loosing-Roe Will affect them if leaving the State is punished.
So, ridiculous, but just up Marshals alley. Disgusting that it should even be mentioned
AGSteveMarshall
It should be illegal to found and support an insurrection too!
The party of 'small government' is now seeking to interfere with the right to travel freely.
Ok, we are going a bit too far government machine! Alabamians are not the property of the state, they can go to other states and do what they please! This kind of politics goes dangerously close to treating as property, or slaves! And we DO NOT NEED A FUGITIVE SLAVE ACT! STOP IT!
If someone commits a murder in another state, is Alabama going to charge them with the crime and put them to death even if they committed no crime in Alabama?
WarOnDumb Further evidence of just how disgusting AGSteveMarshall is.
WarOnDumb It it illegal to help an Alabamian go to Vegas to gamble, where the practice is legal?
“dueling” almost makes forcing women to be brood mares sound civilized
What crime was committed in alabama then? How is this different than going to colorado and buying and smoking weed, but not bringing any back? is that going to be illegal now?
They have really lost their damn minds. 😒 if someone goes to a state that has some sense that’s none of their business.
Are they gonna check our fluids every time we leave the state?
He can't jail all of us.
Kay Ivey is going to take credit for this just like Green, Boebert, and Trump did. Trump gets more credit since he packed the court with his minions.
This is madness
I can drive to Mississippi to gamble, which is illegal in Alabama. I can smoke weed in Colorado. If this bull💩travel restriction is allowed to stand, we truly have slipped into authoritarianism.
The dog that caught the car... republicans are ' ganna go through some things '
Support abortion access :
Don't take a pregnant woman across state lines, folks.
I hate our politicians they don't value life at all. live here lucky to get an Education much less common sense. We have police that rape. Human trafficked people being forced to get abortion. Guess their captures will just YouTube how to perform one. You don't investigate rape
