The Alabama Case That Could Undo the Right To Travel Out of State for an Abortion
Briefly

The recent case of Yellowhammer Fund v. Attorney General raises concerns about the implications of state powers in restricting abortion-related travel after Roe v. Wade was overturned. Following Alabama's swift criminalization of nearly all abortions, Attorney General Steve Marshall threatened legal action against those aiding abortion seekers.

However, Marshall contends this right is limited to mere movement and does not include broader implications pertaining to abortion services.
