The sanctuary law bars Seattle Police from pursuing any out-of-state warrants for those seeking abortion care in the city.
Seattle will soon be a sanctuary city for those seeking an abortion after one of several new laws signed as part of a package of bills byRoe v. Wade
Those bills make abortion seekers and those seeking gender-affirming care a protected class to ensure their civil rights are protected. Another makes it a misdemeanor to encroach on a person’s efforts to get an abortion. In her speech, Congresswoman Herbold noted experts predict Washington State will see a fourfold increase in people seeking abortions.
Morales called the signing of the new laws a good first step but noted the city was responding to the Dobbs decision in real time and assessing the impacts as they became clearer. “Our legislation would work to ensure that these facilities cannot make public statements that are false or misleading by creating penalties for engaging in deceptive practices,” Morales said.
