Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall signed a letter that said states need to have access to medical information for people who travel out of state for abortions or gender-affirming health care.
last month to oppose proposed federal rules that would shield that information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act . Marshall was one of 19 attorneys general who signed.last year, Alabama outlawed abortion. Women seeking to terminate pregnancies must travel out-of-state to get access to legal abortion services. The new federal rules would prevent that information from being disclosed to Alabama investigators.
Alabama’s abortion law bans termination at all stages of pregnancy and does not include exemptions for rape or incest. The law targets doctors, who face between 10 and 99 years in prison if convicted. Women who receive abortions cannot be prosecuted. “The Administration, however, has pushed a false narrative that States are seeking to treat pregnant women as criminals or punish medical personnel who provide lifesaving care,” the letter said. “Based on this lie, the Administration has sought to wrest control over abortion back from the people in defiance of the Constitution and Dobbs. The proposed rule here continues that effort.”
