Abortion access remains legal under the Alaska constitution, but Attorney General Treg Taylor is calling for states that banned abortion access to be allowed to pursue information about residents’ out-of-state abortion procedures.
criminalizes helping minors travel out of state to get an abortion. Meanwhile, in some Democrat-controlled states, legislatures have passed laws to protect access to abortion care for individuals traveling from out-of-state.
Public opinion polls have shown that around 60% of Alaskans support abortion access. The procedure is protected under the state constitution’s privacy clause. A ballot question last year on calling a constitutional convention, which could have allowed abortion opponents to weaken protections for the procedure, failed resoundingly.
Taylor said he does not plan to seek information about Alaskans’ abortion care in other states, nor will Alaska provide information to other state agencies on individuals who come to Alaska for abortion care.
