NEW: Alabama’s state senate has voted to approve one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.
Alabama’s state Senate voted and approved one of the most controversial and restrictive abortion laws in the country.
After the vote passed 25-6, the ACLU of Alabama announced on Twitter that they would file a lawsuit to stop the abortion ban. Another similarity seen in Alabama as in other states is the hope that the inevitable legal challenges could lead to the bill being debated by the Supreme Court, which opponents of abortion hope could lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade and therefore a federal ban on abortion.
"There was a problem with this child. The 23rd chromosome did not split," Smitherman said on the senate floor. "The significance is that I had the choice. The choice was my wife's and I. The legislature did not make the choice for me," Smitherman said.
