The law bans abortions at all stages of pregnancy, with the only exception being when the mother’s life is at risk. Rape and incest cases are also banned from abortions.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed an abortion bill into law Wednesday evening, making the southern state the toughest in the nation to restrict early-term abortions. The law could also potentially challenge the Roe vs. Wade decision.
“To the bill’s many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God,” Ivey said. “As citizens of this great country, we must always respect the authority of the U.S. Supreme Court even when we disagree with their decisions,” Ivey wrote. “Many Americans, myself included, disagreed when Roe v. Wade was handed down in 1973.”
“We will not allow that to happen, and we will see them in court. Despite the governor signing this bill, clinics will remain open, and abortion is still a safe, legal medical procedure at all clinics in Alabama," Marshall said in a statement.
