Fact check: Is the Alabama anti-abortion bill likely to go into effect?

On Tuesday, the Alabama Senate passed and Gov. Kay Ivey signed into law the most restrictive abortion bill in the country -- a near-total ban on all abortions. According to Eric Johnston, president of the Alabama Pro-Life Coalition, who helped craft the legislation, the bill was specifically designed to go to the Supreme Court and challenge Roe v. Wade.

The new law would become enforceable in six months and would carry stiff penalties for those caught violating it. For example, doctors could face up to 99 years in prison for performing an abortion in the state. So what are the chances the law will be implemented anytime soon? Next to none.

ChrisCuomo I love Alabama now

ChrisCuomo If Roe v Wade is successfully challenged and overturned, what is to stop some idiot state decides to overturn Civil Rights or any Equality laws? Going after the rights of one group based solely on gender issues can open doors for more issues based on gender, race, religion.

ChrisCuomo Question.. what about the morning after pill that is advertised on tv & we can buy pharmacy can Alabama take that away from women? & does Trump have the authority to stop all this nonsense?

ChrisCuomo That’s a constitutional right. Bernie Sanders quote. Live with that.

ChrisCuomo All laws get challenged multiple times. This is nothing new.

ChrisCuomo Boycott Alabama and Georgie and stop doing business with a police state where men think that they should control the women. What next taking women right to vote way or put a device on women to see if they get pregnant

ChrisCuomo life begins that early does that mean citizenship is rightfully a babies in the US at conception?

ChrisCuomo Hmmm why so upset about not killing babies with a heartbeat ? The government dictates what we do with our bodies everyday .Prisons are filled with guys that possessed drugs that we use in OUR bodies .Why not a peep from Chris Cuomo?

ChrisCuomo Its actually challenging women all over the US.Taking her back to the struggle of being disrespected and abuse by these men who undermine the strength /intelligence & to where they belong in society.Shame on these congress men who voted for this.I hope its not put into order🤔

ChrisCuomo THE GOP ARE HELLBENT ON UPENDING THE RULE OF LAW, THE CONSTITUTION & ANYTHING ELSE THAT LIMITS THEIR ABILITY TO RULE AS THEY WISH, yes I said rule, not govern, I chose the word RULE quite precisely for Nadler is correct Trump would love to be KING

ChrisCuomo And?

ChrisCuomo LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR SHOW AND YOU! Watch everyday!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Please keep making the case!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

ChrisCuomo Hey como I noticed you're not wearing a wedding ring what's going on with that let's get after it don't worry about the 39 dead women that try to give their own abortion that was God

ChrisCuomo It doesn’t affect me so I don’t care

ChrisCuomo I just love see you standing in front the monitor teaching us Facts First it reminds me of my school days WOW we got a teacher at CNN and that’s all good keep up the great work but I have to believe 25 men hardened their hearts bc they see no commissions coming to their pocket

senatorjen ChrisCuomo Thank you for standing up for a woman’s right to choose!

ChrisCuomo It’s about time

ChrisCuomo I doubt Our Father believes it's okay to kill a 7 8 or 9 month old babys. Which goes way beyond what's morally right. Lord Jesus has a problem with this I guarantee it.

ChrisCuomo I feel as a man I have no right to tell a woman what to do with her body, abortion shouldn't be used as birth control but in some cases I feel yes if someone got raped or there is a health issue, but here's a question how many people have been to a funeral for a miss carage

ChrisCuomo You should rename this 'Cuomo's Facts First'. That's more accurate.

ChrisCuomo This is very Draconian GovernorKayIvey how do you feel this does good? You're female and know that abuse, rape and incest isn't something to just look over.

ChrisCuomo I propose a law that ALL Males get snipped ensuring no chance sperm escape into a vagina. Later men can apply for a reversal (w/wife's written approval) after proving they're financially fit & emotionally ready. It's the only way to keep wombs safe and babies wanted.

ChrisCuomo Best enjoy your Steak and Eggs while you can folks, as soon as the Republicans figure out they've been eating chicken abortions all hell is going to break loose. 🥴🍽️🥚🥚🥩

CuomoPrimeTime ChrisCuomo GovernorKayIvey Being a victim of a awful background - You have no right acting as GOD to make this punishment. Why so BITTER? So SOUR to see why you playing GOD isn't right. You're causing worse problems rather then dealing with this like an ADULT. 📌 YOU'RE NOT GOD

ChrisCuomo all these laws standing up for women, what law stands up for the unborn child? I'd really like an answer to that................................ ?

ChrisCuomo law or no law telling one when a baby is alive, killing a fetus when one is simply using it for birthcontrol is wrong. killing any person is WRONG.

ChrisCuomo This country was built on Religious grounds not pagan murder rituals

ChrisCuomo

ChrisCuomo

ChrisCuomo Fake news...it stops abortion AFTER the heartbeat is heard (15 days for those counting). Unless the mother's life is in jeopardy...at least read the law BEFORE you spout off about it...

ChrisCuomo Murderers murderers killers of the unborn 👶 Abortionist= Ancient deity god now as pro choice democrats, still making his Quota & Filling his orders of babies body parts/ satanic

ChrisCuomo If it’s illegal, why does it go to the Supreme Court?

ChrisCuomo I know honesty shocks you being a Cuomo

ChrisCuomo To the women in Alabama, move out of that state.

ChrisCuomo Awesome! It’s about time someone stood up for the children!

ChrisCuomo What happened in Alabama is how democracy is supposed to work. The majority rule. It IS constitutional. And you all spin to push lies as fact. LEAVE ALABAMA if you are in the minority. WAKEUPAMERICA prayforournation GodBlessAmerica stopthehate WOKE

ChrisCuomo I hope it does challenge Roe v Wade. It’s a poorly constructed SCOTUS decision

ChrisCuomo Good man don’t get a big deep course Voice and called it creepy demon Donald out and is ugly ugly family do not throw them soft balls anymore my god he’s a monster

ChrisCuomo This is Amereeeeka!

ChrisCuomo

ChrisCuomo You can have such a disgusting attitude like Donald and think you care about a fetus call him out call him out just get one big strong man with a big deep voice and call Donald out he needs to get called out

ChrisCuomo You had better call Donald out and just slam them fo not let them get a word in edgewise he said grab them by the pussy that’s caring for women don’t you understand

ChrisCuomo CNN is in panic. If the understanding of the law change that will be a good thing saving thousands of lifes.

ChrisCuomo Killing babies should not even be a discussion!!

ChrisCuomo ChrisCuomo biased tool of a brother of corrupt NYGovCuomo. Both embarrassments to Italian-americans

ChrisCuomo Give him off get him off you don’t have to show his creepy side we all know what big bores like you had dobbs the biggest bore

ChrisCuomo Still looking for the right to kill babies in the Constitution....can't seem to find it.

ChrisCuomo The Republicans are going nuts in the States... They do all they can to stop abortion. They prefer to support the NRA and make guns easy to get and by doing so, having kids being kill at school.... Crazy country....

ChrisCuomo Life begins at conception. Roe V Wade would have had a different outcome with the advancements of technology currently available.

ChrisCuomo LOL and yet you want to stomp on the Constitution and take away guns. LOL

ChrisCuomo And sanctuary state laws flagrantly contradict federal immigration laws, yet somehow that isn't an issue. Sorry, when you set precedent it tends to bit you in the arse sooner or later.

ChrisCuomo If they cared about the fetus there would be universal healthcare is there no this is just about control control control control they voted that grab them by the pussy monster that horrible horrible creep that one that molested Ivanka

ChrisCuomo ?

ChrisCuomo Roe v wade was a compete hoax- even Roe admits she wasn’t raped n was exploited n has been pro-life. WE DO KNOW WHEN individual human LIFE BEGINS through ultrasound n dna technology. Abortion is murder. The baby would choose life.

ChrisCuomo Look. ChrisCuomo reading his TelePrompTer. After the show hopefully someone will explain what he read.

ChrisCuomo So a 12 year old girl is raped by her uncle and get pregnant, this law will put her in jail for life if she has and abortion or miscarriage, the GOP are just like the radical Islam.

ChrisCuomo This is just about controlling women not about saving fetuses why don’t you call them out because they don’t follow through if they were sincere they would do something differently once they let women explain how these things work

ChrisCuomo 😍😍😍🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂

ChrisCuomo ChrisCuomo is a living abortion

ChrisCuomo I didn’t know the Government was in charge of women’s bodies.

ChrisCuomo These creepy men in Alabama do not care about women or the fetus they are insincere they are hypocrites they are liars they are killers and murderers they will cause more abortions more suffering but they’ll feel like they’re in control creeps creeps creeps

ChrisCuomo Maybe they don't believe in abortion.

ChrisCuomo This is due to their creepy parents telling them they’re entitled to something and they’re not just because there men and most of them are white men and they really have no idea of what privilege they have to be making these stupid decisions and that is putting it kindly

ChrisCuomo Just wait till RBG is finally ousted from her spot.. lol.

ChrisCuomo What did u expect when NY decided to kill a baby after it was born. There was going to be a backlash. They went to far!!

ChrisCuomo They are not sincere about the fetus they are not they are so creepy and mean they’re just upset because they’re not the only ones that can make decisions

ChrisCuomo Do some real reporting please

ChrisCuomo alabama state may dont know that they will overturn roe vs wade its becouse new york state make it legal to abort babies or worst infanticide to promote in the state of virginia

ChrisCuomo This is not about saving fetuses this is about creepy men that need to be in control and they don’t know what they’re doing at best but their sinister most likely they just have it in their hearts to control certain people through their biology

ChrisCuomo Calm down ChrisCuomo. We want facts and reason in the abortion debate. Not just 'feeling and faith'

ChrisCuomo And RvW will be overturned. You idiots pretend to care about life yet you think allowing the murder of an unborn child because a women got drunk and forgot to swallow is ok...

ChrisCuomo We Democrats are so stupid. It would have been easy to stop this abortion ban in Alabama. Just show up in the court room, show a picture of Roy Moore and Jeff Sessions and simply say, “ Abortion would have stopped this “.

ChrisCuomo Chris while I agree with you shouldn’t you do the same type of segment with the states that allow sanctuary cities that fly in the face of federal law and try to challenge it when you do that then maybe people will start watching CNN again

ChrisCuomo Hundreds of women will die, and hundreds of thousands will be forced to have C-sections and episiotomies by the government if abortion is banned. Hard to see how that could ever be Constitutional.

ChrisCuomo This is so insincere and sinister mean Men will burn for eternity

ChrisCuomo

ChrisCuomo This is about men controlling women not about saving fetuses and letting them but sure no this is about some very insecure mean man wanting to control women because they have no faith in themselves

ChrisCuomo Roe v. Wade is built on a lie. There is no excuse for murder.

ChrisCuomo “[Rapist & victims should be forced to reconcile & raise a baby together]” - AlabamaAbortionBan GOP Republicans logic
