Judge rules Alabama can't prosecute groups helping patients get abortions elsewhere
Briefly

Following a federal judge's ruling that Alabama's attorney general cannot prosecute abortion aid providers, reproductive rights groups like the Yellowhammer Fund rapidly resumed their support for patients seeking abortions out of state. This included immediate funding for patients, highlighting the urgency of their services. Meanwhile, oral arguments were presented to the Supreme Court regarding Planned Parenthood's Medicaid funding in South Carolina, amid ongoing discussions about state laws and First Amendment rights concerning reproductive rights and access to abortion.
The decision came at about 5:30, I think we funded an abortion at 5:45 because that's how severe the need is, that's how urgent it is.
We're just seeing kind of a multiplying of conflicts where we have unanswered questions about the meaning of the First Amendment in this context.
