The Alabama bill comes on the heels of several states considering bans on abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which happens as soon as the sixth week of pregnancy. The Alabama bill would go further by banning abortion at any point.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama is the latest state to propose a ban on most abortions as conservatives attempt take aim at the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.
"This bill just truly confronts Roe versus Wade," said bill sponsor Rep. Terri Collins, a Republican from Decatur. Randall Marshall, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama, said the legislation would be challenged and"struck down immediately" because it is in direct conflict with current Supreme Court decisions, and it would leave the state with substantial legal bills.
Kentucky and Mississippi enacted fetal heartbeat legislation. The Kentucky law was enjoined by the courts the same day it was signed by the governor. Georgia's governor is considering whether to sign a similar bill. A South Carolina House subcommittee passed a bill Tuesday that would ban almost all abortions if a fetal heartbeat is detected.
