Marshall has not prosecuted anyone for providing abortion assistance, but he has made statements saying that his office would "look at" groups that provide help.
The comments have had a "disturbing chilling effect" on abortion rights advocates and providers, who already feel like they live with a legal target on their back, said Kelsea McLain, deputy director of Yellowhammer. "We believe it’s our right and our freedom to support people in leaving the state if they need to because the state no longer takes care of their needs," she said.
"Tragically, banning abortion in Alabama seems to not have been enough," Robinson said in a statement. "Those in power want to muzzle providers like me to prevent us from sharing information with our pregnant patients about the options they have." "We get a lot of the anger — and we know that it’s not us that they are angry at," said Robin Marty, operations director for the West Alabama Women’s Center. "It’s the situation, but it is very, very hard for my staff. They want to be able to help them."
