Resource: Yellowhammer Fund v. Attorney General of Alabama (Alabama)

This civil rights action asks a federal court to prevent the Alabama Attorney General from making good on his threats to criminalize people that help pregnant Alabamians leave the state to access legal abortion. The Attorney General’s threats specifically target helpers like the Yellowhammer Fund, an organization that seeks to resume providing funding and practical support to pregnant Alabamians who are forced to leave their home state and often travel hundreds of miles to access legal abortion care. Indeed, abortion funds like the Yellowhammer Fund do more than simply provide aid; they send a message of solidarity to those who are persecuted by the State for seeking to control their reproductive health.
