Gina Raimondo was asked about Steve Marshall saying Alabama will prosecute those who help women travel for abortions.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo says “draconian” abortion laws in Alabama and other states will backfire and impact the ability to attract talent and business to states with strict abortion laws.

“Businesses aren’t going to want to do business in states that are hostile to women. And so I think this is a very poor decision just from a business matter. Businesses want to do business in places where there is top talent and in places where you can get the best, most talented women to work in businesses,” said Raimondo.

Marshall filed a motion Monday in federal court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and Yellowhammer Fund, which helped fund abortions in Alabama before the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the right to an abortion with its Dobbs decision.
