Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit on June 11 in Anchorage Superior Court, challenging the state’s requirement that chemical abortions be performed in approved health care facilities.
The complaint argues that Alaska has somehow violated the state’s constitution by not allowing women to undergo chemically induced abortions, where preborn babies are killed and then expelled at home or in other locations.
The lawsuit names the State of Alaska, Acting Attorney General Cori Mills, the Alaska Department of Health, the State Medical Board, and the Alaska Board of Nursing as defendants.
Planned Parenthood operates two abortion centers in Alaska, one in Anchorage and another in Fairbanks. Under current law, women seeking chemical abortions must travel to these types of facilities to take the abortion inducing drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol.
Planned Parenthood claims Alaska women shouldn’t have to travel to a health facility, which might mean taking time off work, finding babysitters or other inconveniences. The abortion business asserts that even slight delays can push pregnant women past the 12-week window in which they can kill their unborn child using the powerful drugs, and thereby avoid more invasive abortion procedures.
ALASKA WATCHMAN DIRECT TO YOUR INBOX
The abortion giant claims chemical abortions are “safe and effective,” despite the fact that the drugs have serious, and sometimes life-threatening side effects.
Pro-life organizations, including the Charlotte Lozier Institute and Americans United for Life, warn that mifepristone and misoprostol carry significant risks, such as hemorrhage affecting up to 15.6% of users, potentially requiring blood transfusions. They can also lead to serious infections and sepsis, including rare but fatal cases. Additionally, incomplete abortions occur in 3-7% or more of cases, often necessitating surgery. Overall, the drugs bring elevated emergency room visits from adverse events.
Despite these known dangers, the Planned Parenthood lawsuit claims that requiring women to be at an approved medical facility for an abortion violates Alaskans’ fundamental right to privacy and equal protection under the Alaska Constitution.
The lawsuit asks for a preliminary injunction to halt enforcement during litigation and a permanent injunction.

I fail to see how having to attend a doctor visit for a medical procedure, however repugnant, is just too inconvenient for people. Likewise, should some awful outcome besides the murder of the baby occur, wouldn’t that mother want to be where she can get to a hospital? I expect most if not all of these women can manage to visit the dentist for a tooth cleaning, so why can they not at least face a doctor in order to kill their offspring?
Planned Parenthood gets more evil and uglier as time goes by. Time to shut it down completely across the USA.
Amen
What nonsense

The law really isn’t enforceable, is it? People have live online chats with people and organization all over the world, all the time. A woman in Alaska can have an online consultation with a mifeprisone provider, provide her credit card number, and have the medicine delivered by mail. And no one would be the wiser.
The abortion pill is dangerous and destroys families in several serious ways. Do your homework on this. Planned Parenthood is selling baby parts to labs. This is big business and the abortionist profit through different ways. This is against the Constitution which states that the First Right is the Right to life for American Citizens.. Yes, the preborn baby has a Right to Life! Stop this evil so that families may heal and move on.
Dunleavy our prolife governor has made a deal with Satan himself!
This drug should ba available to any women who wants it. What is the right going to do next, take away women’s right to vote?
The Right? Listen pal, not everyone who thinks differently than you is “right wing”. Gross generalization and putting people into tidy little labeled boxes is smooth brain behavior.
Here is a generalization about people like you for instance: You protest no kings and you claim to want to eat the rich, but at the same time you shill for big pharma to continue making big profit off women’s suffering. Are you a feminist or not, or had all that blue hair dye soaked into your brain?
See how that works pal?
The culture war continues as long as you participate in it.
So should fentanyl.
Why not? If I want it, if I think it’s good for me, why not? On what grounds should any drugs be restricted from widespread distribution without oversight or regulations?
