Alabama Senate Republicans, a caucus composed entirely of men, tried to pass a vote that would punish almost all abortions with 99-year prison terms without allowing a traditional roll call as requested by Democrats.

The punitive and strict anti-abortion bill already passed the Alabama House 74-3 in a vote last week. A Senate Democrat who spoke on the floor Thursday conceded the bill is likely to pass regardless, but demanded fairness in how the process is allowed to play out. "I hope they take this opportunity to think critically about what this bill means for the women of this state and why women and doctors should be making these personal, private health care decisions—not politicians," she added.

Conservative governors and legislators are using new highly restrictive abortion laws to get abortion back in front of what they believe is the friendliest U.S. Supreme Court in decades. This is a developing story. It will be updated. The southern states are evidently vying for the title of 'Most miserable place to live.' And we were worried about Sharia laws. And so it begins 😢...

Watch: Shouting erupts on Alabama senate floor over abortion voteAlabama Senate Minority Leader Bobby Singleton demanded a roll call after the Senate stripped a rape and incest exception from a bill to ban abortion. Its unfathomable the Republicans boast about deregulation and removing barriers yet the feel it prudent to strictly, harshly, unfairly and in the most invasive manner, regulate a woman’s reproductive system. Nothing more than a bunch of misogynistic hypocrites. Baby killers. Eugenic ideas of Planned Parenthood founder are working with full capacity. This is what happens to democracy when religious NUTS!!! get elected into office.

Alabama Senate delays vote on nation’s strictest abortion billCorrection: Alabama Senate did not vote on the nation's strictest abortion bill. Previous tweets said the bill had passed, but Alabama Senate had only voted on an amendment to the bill. We have deleted those tweets. Very important to check info before rushing to publish. It takes a few minutes. I see editorial standards have not kicked in yet. This seems like a stupid and avoidable mistake. Democracy dies in deleted tweets.
