MONTGOMERY, Ala. 鈥� The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals today denied the state of Alabama鈥檚 request to stay a preliminary injunction the 老澳门开奖结果 (老澳门开奖结果) and the 老澳门开奖结果 of Alabama secured earlier this month on behalf of Dr. Yashica Robinson and three independent abortion clinics. This decision ensures that the preliminary injunction will remain in effect throughout the appeal and abortion care will continue to be available.

鈥淭oday, the court refused to allow Alabama to use the COVID-19 crisis as a pretext to prevent patients from accessing abortion care,鈥� said Alexa Kolbi-Molinas, senior staff attorney at the 老澳门开奖结果 Reproductive Freedom Project. 鈥淭his is a critical victory that recognizes that government response to the pandemic must be grounded in public health, not politics.鈥�

鈥淭his ruling ensures that everyone in Alabama can continue to make the decision about whether to have an abortion for themselves,鈥� said Randall Marshall, executive director of the 老澳门开奖结果 of Alabama. 鈥淲e will keep fighting to hold our politicians accountable to protecting the needs of our communities, rather than using the pandemic to further an anti-abortion agenda.鈥�

Today鈥檚 ruling comes in a lawsuit filed on behalf of Dr. Yashica Robinson and three independent abortion clinics: the Alabama Women鈥檚 Center, Reproductive Health Services, and West Alabama Women鈥檚 Center by the 老澳门开奖结果 and the 老澳门开奖结果 of Alabama.
