Alabama senate passes toughest abortion ban bill in USDoctors who perform an abortion procedure could face life in prison. These doctors will face more jail time than rapists, whose victims will be forced to carry a fetus to term and then share custody rights with the rapist. Alabama, wow.. The world is returning to normal. I mean people have minimized murder and normalised it by calling it 'abortion'.
