On Wednesday, May 15, Alabama’s governor Kay Ivey signed a measure to outlaw all abortions at any stage of pregnancy, with the exception of instances in which there’s a significant risk to the life of the mother. It also institutes criminal penalties against doctors who participate in abortions.
The measure, which is the most restrictive abortion bill in the country and is designed to challenge Roe v. Wade, is the latest in a long series of legislative attempts toward curbing abortion rights in America, across many states.
If, like some members of our team, you’re interested in finding ways to help, here’s a list of food community members and businesses who’ve organized events or initiatives to raise funds for organizations fighting these bans (we’ll continue to update this as we learn more):
