On Monday, a federal judge ruled that Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall acted unconstitutionally when he threatened to prosecute those who help Alabamians get abortions in states where they are legal.

Read about it at Law Dork: https://www.lawdork.com/p/alabama-yellowhammer-fund-final-judgment
(4) It is DECLARED that the defendant's use of the
provisions of Alabama's criminal code to prosecute
those who assist individuals seeking to leave Alabama
to obtain abortion care in a State where abortion is
legal would violate both the First Amendment and the
right to travel.
The court
retains jurisdiction
to issue
an
injunction to enforce the declaratory judgment and to
provide other relief, should such become necessary.

1. Constitutions are for Losers

Just quaint suggestions for those with conservative values.

2. These Red State AGs need to accept that women are people & citizens, NOT property of the state!

Glad to see judges standing up to these jerks who think they can treat women like cattle.

3. The right to travel is an interesting concept.

There is nothing in the constitution explicitly stating that there is a right to travel, but people have never been stopped from moving freely around the country. Is this an unenumerated right?

4. The GOP does not think women have a right to cross state lines.

5. Its existence under privileges and immunities

is sought to be tested again by Gozer the Gozerian.

Just like birthright citizenship.
