On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States and the Governor of the State of Alabama declared the COVID-19 outbreak both a national and state emergency. Following these declarations, Alabama’s State Health Officer issued a series of orders suspending certain public gatherings. Case 2:19-cv-00365-MHT-JTA Document 137 Filed 04/12/20 Page 2 of 56 One of these orders, published on March 27, mandated the postponement of “all dental, medical, or surgical procedures,” with two exceptions: (a) those “necessary to treat an emergency medical condition” and (b) those “necessary to avoid serious harm from an underlying condition or disease, or necessary as part of a patient’s ongoing and active treatment.” State Health Order of March 27, 2020 (doc. no. 88-1) at 6 ¶ 7. Plaintiffs Yashica Robinson, M.D., Alabama Women’s Center, Reproductive Health Services, and West Alabama Women’s Center are abortion providers in Alabama.

Att’y Gen’l *Counsel of Record OFFICE OF THE ALABAMA ATTORNEY GENERAL 501 Washington Avenue Montgomery, AL 36130 (334) 242-7300 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioner December 20, 2018 i QUESTION PRESENTED Like several states, Alabama prohibits “dismemberment abortion.” In a “dismemberment abortion,” a doctor “dismember[s] a living unborn child and extract[s] him or her one piece at a time from the uterus through use of clamps, grasping forceps, tongs, scissors, or similar instruments that, through the convergence of two rigid levers, slice, crush, or grasp . a portion of the unborn child’s body to cut or rip it off.” Ala. Code § 26-23G-2(3). Dismemberment abortion is similar to partial birth abortion, which this Court has said the government can prohibit. Gonzales v. Carhart, 550 U.S. 124, 133 (2007). But the court of appeals below reluctantly concluded that Alabama is prohibited from banning dismemberment abortions under this Court’s more recent abortion decisions. The question presented is: Whether a state ban on dismemberment abor- tions is unconstitutional where there is a reasonable medical debate that alternatives to the banned pro- cedure are safe? ii PARTIES AND AFFILIATES Steven T.
