Alabama senate passes a near-total abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest

During the emotionally charged debate, senate minority leader Bobby Singleton pointed to and named rape victims watching from the public gallery.

Julie Burkhart, who runs US abortion clinics, says people must pressure their state senators to ensure their rights are retained Senate majority leader Greg Reed said the legislation"simply recognises that an unborn baby is a child who deserves protection"."Despite the best efforts of abortion proponents, this bill will become law because Alabamians stand firmly on the side of life," added the Republican senator.

Glory hallayluya.

Incest is rife in alabama. UofAlabama

Another attack on women by middle aged wealthy white men. Women need to move out of the State to send a strong message

In a country that thinks it’s ok to let most have a gun & some of the worst school shootings/killing of KIDS - but they won’t let you make your own mind up about having a KID or not. Not backwards at all.

That is disgusting 😟

Men having the final vote on this Disgraceful that in the 21st century men still have control over women like this!!! As if forcing realDonaldTrump on the world wasn’t bad enough this truly is America’s deep deep shame. What a ruddy disgrace!!

At least they admit to their incest problem.

Religion should have no place in politics.

Morning after pills ladies get stock up !!!

Absolute barstewards! We've all heard of the cocktail Alabama Slammer. But the lawmakers putting a raped Alabama Mamma in the Slammer for trying to abort a non-consentual conception is just plain evil.

That is wrong as those who have suffered rape or abuse should be given a choice no forced to have an unwanted child

MaryceChan This is what happens when we dilute women's marches and reights movements with advocacy for males who don't share our biology. women are a sex, not a gender identity.

theskibeagle Deliberate attempt to nprovke a supreme court challenge on roe v wade, the state knows this law is unconstitutional

I’m guessing that Alabama doesn’t have many women representatives in their state parliament. I also guess they voted for Trump. Neanderthal man is alive and well

.....and wellcome to the dark ages..

Alabama.....the State who gave 600,000+ votes to a pedophile who was running for re-election. It doesn't surprise me. They are nothing but hillbillies.

It’s your constitutional right to be able to own a gun and shoot someone yet you can’t have an abortion.

Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Horrific

I see Southern attitudes have not changed in 100 years. Just so backward.

None of these things would be an issue. If it wasn't for the fact many women need technological advances, in order to get the life they want, rather than the life evolution intended. From plastic surgery to abortion. Many women clearly hate being women and want to be men.

No exceptions is a bit harsh... compromise is better than authoritative measures. I know adoption is good, but it’s not always the right choice. The woman/girl who’s been raped by a relative has had no choice in that, so allow her the courtesy of a choice in that extreme case. 🤦‍♂️

No exception for rape or incest?! Thats crazy.

America is strange, States go from one extreme to another, like they are trying to see who can pass the worst law ffs

The answer is for all women in AlabamaShariaLaw to go on SexStrike and be lesbians and those senators to be gay

Absolutely Shocking!

Funny. You’re Remainers yet obsessed with the US. If that was in Europe you wouldn’t report on it.

Land of the free

Safeguarding the fetus in the uterus while completely disregarding the child's future. Take better care of children and more people will be willing to have then.

Disgusting religious fundamentalism.

After losing a child to women who 'couldn't be bothered' having another child I do think life should be protected but this is a bit harsh

And the back street abortionists will be in business again

Who knows the true north of that moral compass?

They have always been backwards

Unbelievable. How backward can you get!?

Horrific news. Shame on them.
