Several Alaska legislators are pushing back against the position of Attorney General Treg Taylor, who joined other Republican-led states in favoring a policy that would allow law enforcement to access information on abortions obtained across state lines.
a letter signed by Taylor calling on the drugstore not to carry abortion drugs in Alaska, despite the fact that no state law explicitly limits drugstores from carrying the medication.
Sen. Cathy Giessel, a South Anchorage Republican, was the only GOP member to sign the letter from lawmakers. Giessel said she was “stunned” when she first learned of Taylor’s position. Giessel said she personally is opposed to abortion but doesn’t want to impose her values on other people. “I’m pro-life, but this crosses a line,” she said.
Taylor said in an email Tuesday that he had signed the letter to preserve “states’ rights in the face of federal overreach,” despite the fact that he had no intention of seeking Alaskans’ medical records for abortions performed legally. According to Giessel, that meant he wasn’t focused on the needs of Alaskans in signing the letter.
