Alabama state senators voted on Tuesday to pass the most restrictive abortion law in the United States after days of debate that at times created explosive reactions among lawmakers on the floor of the chamber.
The bill is one of several similar proposals commonly referred to as a heartbeat bill, so-named as they ban abortion when a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks. Opponents of such bills have stated that some women do not learn they are pregnant until after six weeks and that the proposal effectively eliminates any choice a woman might have as the restriction begins so soon in a pregnancy.
Doctors who conduct abortions outside of those circumstances can also face felony murder charges in Alabama. The felony is classified as Class A, meaning the doctor could be sentenced for life or 99 years in prison. Attempting to perform an abortion would be a Class C felony, resulting in a prison sentence of up to 10 years.Earlier in the day, Alabama senators voted to include an amendment that would allow for rape and incest, a measure that was voted down 21-11.
The bill now goes to Republican Governor Kay Ivey, who is generally considered to hold a pro-life position on abortion, for her signature. Ivey told reporters on Friday that she would not decide on whether to sign the bill until she had seen the final version. At the time, the Senate had not decided on a rape and incest amendment.
Kind of like how a panel of Jewish and black activist spoke at a congressional hearing about white supremacy, without any actual white people speaking, Hmmm ?
Dont re-elect them.
May all these power hungry controllers fry in hell!
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
You will not control a woman’s body. If only a man could control his body. And of the course the woman is punished.
25 WHITE men, that have never been foster parents, nor ever adopted a child.
Men. Were any women voting
You forgot to add the part to your article about the WOMAN who signed the bill.
God will vomit them out
Ga nyangka di AS, Alabam bisa memberlakukan peraturan kaya gini. 👍
That is because the PEOPLE of Alabama VOTED and chose these people to represent them. Just as they chose a female Governor. That is how a representative democracy works. Quite frankly anybody's opinion outside of Alabama is irrelevant. And the ones in Alabama who are pissed
Women should target those senators, and mob them everywhere they go,make their lives extremely uncomfortable for 9 months or so
25 white men voting on abortion... evidence that these are the white supremacists who believe in the 'white genocide conspiracy' and are passing laws to try to preserve their race... it's all a desperate and pathetic attempt to preserve the white race... thats why Trump Russia UK
Every child should have the right to birth.
Meet the men from 1973 who decided what a woman can do with her body. I guess it depends on what they decide which makes them good men or bad men.
........................ So?
They didn’t vote to ban abortion; they voted to challenge Roe V. Wade and they damn well know it
I wonder how many of them already forced their wife’s or mistresses to perform abortion. Look in to it...
These white Christian taliban Republicans sure seem to have an unhealthy interest in a vagina my guess is that with some digging we will find out which of them has made a mistress get an abortion
I thought Roe v Wade only allowed states to write abortion laws related to the 3rd trimester?
25 heroes.
