'Disgusting,' 'dangerous': Here's what every 2020 Democratic candidate has said about Alabama's abortion bill

After Alabama lawmakers approved a bill outlawing nearly all abortions in the state, 2020 Democratic candidates have been outspoken in their condemnation of the measure as an unconstitutional “war on women.”

So far, nearly every one of the 22 Democrats running for president have spoken against the measure. Their response echoes reaction to last week’s passage of the Georgia"heartbeat bill," which banned all abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected.Michael Bennet: The 54-year-old senator from Colorado slammed the measure as a “blatant and unconstitutional attack on women” in a Twitter post on Wednesday. The post linked to a news article about the abortion ban.

Pete Buttigieg: The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, slammed the Alabama Legislature for “ignoring science, criminalizing abortion and punishing women.” He added that the government should “make sure all women have access to comprehensive affordable care, and that includes safe and legal abortion.” Kirsten Gillibrand: A champion of the #MeToo movement, she immediately slammed the anti-abortion bill as a “war on women” in a Twitter post.

Jay Inslee: The Washington governor wrote on Twitter that the bill is “an abomination” and that “the choices a woman makes about her body should be between her and her doctor and no one else.” He added that the country “cannot go back to the dark ages of reproductive rights.” Beto O’Rourke: The Texas Democrat wrote on Twitter that the bill “is not only unconstitutional—it’s a radical attack on women across Alabama and America. We won’t back down when it comes to fully protecting Roe v. Wade, fighting dangerous efforts to roll back reproductive health care and defending a woman’s right to access an abortion.”

To those pro life or pro choice, I just touched on this on my podcast and I want your opinion! (HOWEVER listen to the full episode to hear my whole opinion) 👇🏿 AlabamaAbortionBan

We can quit calling it pro-life now. Well ever really. ProBirth is more honest.

Maybe Alabama would like to secede again. Nobody will miss them.

Alabama Senate passes nation’s strictest abortion bill, making performing the procedure a felony with few exceptionsThe bill needs Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey’s (R) approval before it becomes law.

After Alabama OKs strict anti-abortion bill, Missouri could be nextAlabama's passage of the nation's strictest abortion bill is the latest bid by states in the South and Midwest to stake out a legal challenge on a highly emotional, and controversial topic. When technology arrives at the point where you can incubate this heartbeat to full term...would be the appropriate time for the law to change. Not ONE heartbeat before! I’m not sure what democrats/progressives thought would happen when they decided it was ok to allow abortion up to the point of birth. I’m sorry but you are going to get some push back when they are cheering infanticide I think she means in the minds and hearts of some (minority of) Americans.
