Although the measure is set to take effect six months from Wednesday, when Governor Kay Ivey signed it into law, pro-choice groups, including the, have already said they plan to sue to block the law from taking effect. Alexa Kolbi-Molinas, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU, said the case could take years before it’s settled.
And as the battle plays out in the courts, abortion services would still be accessible in the state, Kolbi-Molinas said. Although, there are onlyabortion clinics left in Alabama after lawmakers have, for years, enacted incremental abortion restrictions making it harder for clinics to operate. These include measures such as strict licensing restrictions or waiting periods.
Kolbi-Molinas said the all-out ban represents an “extreme and unprecedented” change from these previous approaches—and that’s the point. “Why not go all the way?” said Eric Johnston, president of the Alabama Pro-Life Coalition, according to theEven if the law is blocked by a lower court, which proponents of the bill suspect will be the case, that’s all part of a larger legal strategy. Eventually, through appealing lower court decisions, anti-abortion lawmakers hope the Supreme Court will be forced to consider overturning. Although it’s unclear what will happen if the case does make it up to the supreme court.
'Bout time. Let's draw the line to outlaw late term abortions. If you just 'can't be bothered' to get an abortion before your baby has a heartbeat and brainwaves than that's just too d*mn bad, if the situation isn't ACTUALLY life threatening.
Alabama's abortion will set the stage for abandoning Alabama economically.......well played, dumbasses.......
Pro-choice people should move to a state with actual freedom and women's rights. And all the socalled pro-lifers should move to ohio and alabama... I'm so thankful living in an actual free country where nobody would ever dare to touch my rights!
And not one person who voted in favor of the law can get pregnant 🤨

Alabama’s lawmakers want to challenge Roe v WadeAlabama's Senate passed a bill that would ban abortion outright, including in cases of rape or incest Is there any correlation, doe you think, between states that are most anti-abortion and states that are most pro-capital punishment? And isn't that, prima facie, an ethical contradiction? But somehow, it would not be a surprise if it were the case. Is there evidence? Abortion is evil work. I have faith they will keep precedence because the case in chief overreaches way out of bounds as Doctors swear an oath to do no harm!

What the Alabama abortion bill really aims to doOn Tuesday, the Republican-controlled Alabama state legislature passed a measure that would ban abortion -- with the exception of when the life of the mother is in jeopardy -- in all circumstances. The state's Republican governor -- Kay Ivey -- is expected to sign it. When she does, two things will happen: 1) Alabama will become the state with the country's most restrictive abortion law and 2) the law will immediately become fodder for the swirling debate over if (and when) the Supreme Court might consider overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. cindi_leive So if you don’t want babies quit having them.!!!! Murder is wrong. So when you have an accident and lose a limb, your too big of burden, so it should be okay to shoot you in the head, right? cindi_leive How does the public feel about late term or post birth abortions? cindi_leive All these take-your-country-back to the $tone Age changes GOPers propose are all happening in Plain sight👇
