Hundreds of demonstrators march to the Alabama Capitol to protest the state's newly approved abortion ban, chanting 'my body, my choice!' and 'vote them out!'

Protesters for women's rights hold a rally on the Alabama Capitol steps to protest a law passed last week making abortion a felony in nearly all cases with no exceptions for cases of rape or incest, Sunday, May 19, 2019, in Montgomery, Ala.

“Banning abortion does not stop abortion. It stops safe abortion,” said Staci Fox, CEO and president of Planned Parenthood Southeast, addressing the cheering crowd outside the Alabama Capitol. Marchers on Sunday said the measures have energized supporters of legalized abortion, and they say they are digging in for a legal and political fight. Along the route they took, the protesters passed by scattered counterdemonstrators raising signs against abortion.

“I had friends who had illegal abortions and barely survived,” said Hall, who for a time ran a clinic in Montgomery that provided abortion, birth control and other services. Groups this week paid for a small plane carrying a banner “Abortion is Okay!” to circle the Capitol and the Governor’s Mansion. “To the bill’s many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God,” Ivey said in a statement after signing the ban into law.

My body and soul.. they will answer to Jesus Christ.

Wonder how many are actually from AL...

How 'bout, 'Birth control...SELF control!' Or is that expecting too much, from women who really don't know WHAT they want?

Hahaha baby lives are getting saved all over America and liberals cant do shit about it

Just hundreds? Pathetic.

they are right their body and their choice but dont ask for someone else to pay for it unless its a true medical reason

it might make a difference if millions marched on the Capitol and i said millions but that won't happen

Evil people still exist in Alabama.

Hmm what about your concious with your God....

DrWinarick Hundreds?

Planned Parenthood could only pay “hundreds” of protesters

While in California you get fined for not wearing a seatbelt and you can’t order a hamburger cooked under well done MyBodyMyChoice

Ap.. u lie

Power of the vote ladies.... let’s show them the door!

K A R M A!!!

Only hundreds that's significant not the numbers they'd wish and maybe why there Is almost no report of the protest.

Look at all these clowns who want to have the right to kill their own children.

More people showed up to the Taco Bell vigil tbh

Women do have a choice over their own body - not the body of the baby. They have a choice whether to engage in activity that may cause them to get pregnant. If they choose to engage in risks that may cause pregnancy, they should accept responsibility for the baby but not kill it.

You had a choice but you got pregnant. Murder is not a choice. Be accountable!

Why not listen to what real abortion survivors have to say about just whose bodies are being violated?

Anyone who witnesses a late term abortion and supports it needs psychological counseling. We’d jail anyone doing that to dogs if caught in the act.

100's Lol more like a dozen or so.

Hundreds, you say? Wow. You'd think that it would be at least in the thousands if it really was against the majority's interest. Looks like those that voted for the people that wrote, passed, and signed the law are perfectly happy with it.

hundreds?

“You can't justify murder by masking it with a cause.” -Capt. America

If the ladies want to ruin their womb, let them. Just don’t use my or others(I mean majority men paying taxes) tax money to fund your recklessness. I’m sure that these wahman are paid actors to REEE.

Hundreds? We need millions in the streets.

Have you ever seen people so gung ho to murder unborn children? Sex is for reproduction not just pleasure. Having sex makes babies. If you can't handle the responsibility, DONT DO IT!

If churchy people care that much, give them every resource to KEEP child. The fact of a DESPERATE Woman whose pregnancy has become a Mental Health Issue remains. Enter back alley butchers.

Does the unborn baby get a choice?

Why should NY tell Alabama what to do anyway?

Don’t get pregnant...solves the problem. Life begins at conception.

And the baby saying my body, my life, let me have a chance at life ! You Lay, You Pay !

Women from all over this country will be running. Be prepared. No woman wants to make that decision. It's a desperate choice for desperate women. Usually poor, without familial support, baby daddy has flown. No one Wants to face that decision. I'll never judge a DESPERATE Woman.

100s? Must not be that big of a deal, where are the rent a mobs

I cant get behind killing babies.

White liberals wanting the black population kept to a minimum level, just enough voters...but not too damn many.

Hundreds of thousands more attended Christian Churches on Sunday and prayed for GOD to end all abortion.

hundreds of protesters is not enough, you wanna make change, bring hundreds of thousands then you will win.

The protesting is complete nonsense, you know AbortionIsMurder . Dont waste your time. The bible says 'You shall not murder'.

While it grows inside, and feeds off a woman, a fetus is its own seperate entity, and is not the woman's body.

🙄

Maybe a hundreds. Baby killers

For gods sake use freakin protection sheesh

Worst slogan ever

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” (Jeremiah 1:5)For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb…Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book!👈

I believe that abortions should be illegal only if the mother is good looking.

Hundreds?

Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies !

My state, my vote

Have women become so irresponsible that they can’t manage their own sex life with out abortion on demand and calling it health care? No they haven’t. 85 % of Americans favor restrictions. 15% are irresponsible.

BOYCOTTALABAMA Women of Alabama, vote blue or leave the state.

FIGHT THIS CAVEMAN LAW 🤛🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

‘A few dozen pro infanticide non Alabama residents surround the capital’ there I fixed it for you.

Every American deserves the freedom to decide what happens to their own body. It's a basic human right. The GOP are the ANTI-FREEDOM party for anyone who is not a straight, white, 'Christian' male. FreedomToChoose

I bet there were more out of state protesters than people from that state.

It’s not one body, it’s literally two bodies

Roll Tide !!!!

Out of towners.

Dozens?

Every time these people protest they lose supporters. They protested 2016 election, Trump won, they protested in Australia, conservative won, they protested in Brazil, conservative won, they are protesting in France, Marco will lose

Just hundreds that's it.

Too bad the murdered babies can’t protest these idiots. Every human deserves a chance to live.

2Timothy 4:3-4 ESV / 81 helpful votes For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching,but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

They are free to kill themselves because it's their body, their choice.

'we demand dead babies because reasons'

Why would you want to kill your baby?

How did we ever get to a place where killing babies was justified. sickworld GodHelpUs EndAbortion ProtectBabies AbortionIsMurder

Awwww, they are mad that they can’t kill their babies now

One day they'll realize they are protesting to get the right to kill babies

I bet most ofthose people don’t live there.

In the sexual census and the legislation of the state of periodic documentation of nationalities in addition to the right of the initial legislation of the capital and achieve loyalty to liberties Union of the stream and documentation of the primacy working for the Council
