Attorney General Bob Ferguson spoke to KIRO Newsradio about the steps that his office is taking to ensure that women in Washington state, as well as outside the state, have access to safe abortions.
Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization,
“On its surface, [the ruling] would not change things in Washington State in terms of the state having safe, legal access to abortions. That wouldn’t change. However, the legal landscape around abortion would change across the country,” Fergeson said.In preparation for the decision, Ferguson has put together a group to predict how this new precedent could affect Washingtonians.
“I also want to be clear that I believe that legislators in the States or prosecutors in those red states will stop at nothing to try and impose civil or criminal sanctions on Washingtonians or providers here or people who come here seeking a safe and legal abortion,” Ferguson continued. “I’m confident in saying that Governor Inslee would under no circumstances extradite anyone under these circumstances, who is assisted with providing a safe and legal abortion,” Ferguson said.
