Our Work in Alaska
Legal Voice has stood with Alaskans seeking dignity, safety, and autonomy since 1985. In the intervening years, we’ve fought to eliminate the wage gap in healthcare, establish equal access to sports facilities, ensure humane conditions for incarcerated women, and protect reproductive freedom.

Our Lawsuit Expanding Access to Abortion
Planned Parenthood v. State of Alaska
On September 4, 2024, we won a permanent injunction on an Alaskan law that says only licensed physicians can provide abortions. This means the court officially blocked the law.
Because of this ruling, advanced practice clinicians can finally provide abortions. These trusted professionals include physician assistants, registered nurses, and certified nurse midwives. They safely provide abortions in other states, and there’s no reason to stop them from doing so in Alaska. This ruling is especially important for a state with a physician shortage.
Let's Talk!
We’re excited to build connections across the state, whether it’s through policy change, legal action, or public education.
