No surprise here

One week after the federal government made it easier to get abortion pills, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said Tuesday that women in Alabama who use those pills to end pregnancies could be prosecuted.

That’s despite wording in Alabama’s new Human Life Protection Act that criminalizes abortion providers and prevents its use against the people receiving abortions. Instead, the attorney general’s office said Alabama could rely on an older law, one initially designed to protect children from meth lab fumes.

“The Human Life Protection Act targets abortion providers, exempting women ‘upon whom an abortion is performed or attempted to be performed’ from liability under the law,” Marshall said in an emailed statement. “It does not provide an across-the-board exemption from all criminal laws, including the chemical-endangerment law—which the Alabama Supreme Court has affirmed and reaffirmed protects unborn children.”

[...]

Lawmakers passed the chemical endangerment law in 2006 to protect small children from fumes and chemicals from home-based meth labs. District attorneys soon began applying the law to protect the fetuses of women who used various drugs during pregnancy. Justices on the Alabama Supreme Court upheld and affirmed prosecutions of pregnant people in 2013 and 2014.

Since then, the law has been used against more than a thousand Alabama women who used drugs during pregnancy.

Unfuckingbelievable.

And they're not "abortion pills".  They're pregnancy prevention pills.  They're contraception.  This may well go to the Supreme Court, where it will be used to chip away at contraception rights.  

UPDATE:

This is silly, but it's also indicative of how loose our laws and regulations can be.  The HOV lanes are meant as a measure to cut down on carbon emissions from automobiles on the highway.  The only way it does that is if the two or more people in the vehicle have driver's licenses and therefore could otherwise be driving a separate vehicle.  But any two people apparently give cover to drive in the HOV lane.  I guess it would be too hard to enforce if they had to know whether the other people were licensed drivers.  But we can be damned sure the other "person" in a pregnant woman's car isn't.
