NEW YORK - Alabama's governor on Wednesday signed a Bill to ban nearly all abortions in the state, even in cases of rape and incest, in political conservatives' latest challenge to the landmark 1973 US Supreme Court decision establishing a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy.
"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," Ms Ivey said in a statement."To all Alabamians, I assure you that we will continue to follow the rule of law.
Most of the Democratic candidates seeking their party's 2020 nomination to run for the White House condemned the Alabama law, calling it an attack on women's rights and vowing to fight to uphold legal access to abortion. Christian television broadcaster Pat Robertson, a staunch critic of Roe v Wade, said the Alabama law"has gone too far".
But supporters of the Alabama ban said the right to life of the foetus transcended other rights, an idea they would like tested at the Supreme Court.
