Rhode Islanders who help someone from out of state get an abortion are now protected [View all]
Gov. Dan McKee on Tuesday ordered state agencies not to cooperate with any investigations launched by other states of Rhode Islanders who help someone get an abortion.
His executive order comes in response to the U.S. Supreme Court last month overturning the Roe v. Wade decision protecting the right to abortion and moves by states across the country to severely limit or ban abortions.

“Women should be trusted with their own health care decisions, and here in Rhode Island, we firmly support a right to choose,” McKee said in a news release. “The executive order I signed today ensures that Rhode Island will continue to stand up for reproductive health care, especially in response to the shameful U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.”
