The Alabama law, which will take effect in November unless blocked by a judge, would make it a felony for anyone to perform an abortion at any stage of pregnancy unless the women's life is in danger or the fetus has a lethal anomaly. It makes no exceptions for rape and incest.

The American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood filed a federal lawsuit Friday to prevent Alabama's recently passed anti-abortion law, the most restrictive in the country, from taking effect.

The lawsuit claims the Alabama"heartbeat bill," signed into law last week by Governor Kay Ivey, would harm women by forcing them to continue pregancies—and have children—they didn't want, according to The Associated Press. Anti-abortion rights advocacy groups have pushed for legislation that could end up in the Supreme Court and lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark ruling that established a woman's constitutional right to abortion.

Homeless shelters could deny transgender people under proposed Trump administration ruleThe ACLU described the proposal as not just another discriminatory move against transgender people but an attempt to justify it with religion. I am so tired of whole groups of people being unfairly targeted and victimized. Transexualism is being born one sex and then getting surgeries to change to opposite sex. Transgenderism is men and women DRESSING as opposite sex. A person is either or, there should be no access to both identities. I just can't believe how fucked up society has become.
