Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has become the most prominent Republican official to date to suggest “pregnant women could be prosecuted for taking abortion pills.” Marshall’s office suggested pregnant women could be prosecuted under a separate 2006 state law used to punish women for “drug consumption” during pregnancy. The rise of abortion pills has been an especially sore point for many antiabortion advocates, who are frustrated by the fact that the overturning of Roe has not succeeded in completely halting all abortions in states where the procedure is banned. Perhaps even more concerning - is the fact that many hard-core antiabortion advocates are now pressuring state officials nationwide to consider prosecuting women who’ve “already had abortions legally.” What a terrific idea Attorney General Marshall! I mean, since the war on drugs has always been such a resounding success, why not open up a brand new front on that war - around abortion pills?...
