‘Dark day’: Alabama governor signs near-total abortion ban into law

"I've heard from lots of women in the state who are extremely pro-life, and they're very supportive," Ms Collins said.

"It just completely disregards women and the value of women and their voice. We have once again silenced women on a very personal issue," she said.The only exception would be when the woman's health is at serious risk. Women seeking or undergoing abortions wouldn't be punished.Of the 27 Republicans, all white men, that dominate the 35-seat Alabama senate, 25 voted to pass the abortion bill.

Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio and Georgia recently have approved bans on abortion once a foetal heartbeat is detected, which can occur in about the sixth week of pregnancy.Bianca Cameron-Schwiesow, Kari Crowe and Margeaux Hardline, dressed as handmaids, take part in a protest against HB314, the abortion ban bill, at the Alabama State House in Montgomery, Alabama.

One kilometre from the Alabama Statehouse — down the street from the Governor's Mansion — sits Montgomery's only abortion clinic, one of three performing abortions in the state.

AbortionIsMURDER

Human Rights. Last time I checked babies were human.

This is a woman's choice that should be voted on by all women in Alabama. Men have no say on this I'll leave now

If u believe in Christ who do you think He would be happier with today....Alabama or Australia? Our “Christian” prime minster won’t even start the debate to protect innocent life.

Shame on her.

I think this article could of been reported better.

Well these “Human rights advocates” are championing on the ability to KILL human beings. So it doesn’t seem to me that they’re doing their movement much justice

9NewsMelb So many stupid men commenting on how woman should be able to do what they want with their bodies..TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY WITH YOUR PENIS AND USE A CONDOM!

What’s Israel Folau think of it

We need freedom FROM religion.

Very backward place America.

My bet is not 1 person who has made negative remarks won’t even know what the legislation says!

9NewsMelb Dark evil days in Alabama

9NewsMelb Fantastic news!!!

The 'ban' is for over 6 weeks of pregnancy. It is not a total ban. More than 6 weeks is a homicide. Besides conception is done by a man and a woman. The father (if a stable relationship) should give authorization.

Exactly. These people are sooooooo out of touch. But, guns are abounding there which kill more people. Go figure? They don’t mind killing children with guns in USA.

You left out the bit about how it was celebrated by other human rights advocates (and Alabama voters) as a victory for defenceless babies. Interesting that the bill was sponsored by a woman, so clearly not a slap in the face to all women (especially those still in the womb).

Who are you protecting, certainly not the rights of women, you should be ashamed

The Dark Ages.

9NewsAdel I'm guessing she'll also be there to support all of the children she has 'saved' when they are born into extreme poverty or violent households?

Abortion, the ultimate expression of hypergamy.

9NewsAdel Huh? Surely males are also terminated? This is a human rights issue stop pandering to the left. Oh sorry if my wife and I decided to abort a pregnancy It is not 'my choice' because the person to be is nothing to do with me according to the left?

Does the Governor of Alabama realise that we are in the year 2019. Woman have a right to chose as it’s their body.

The only argument against women having the right to choose is purely based in religion. Medieval, backwards religion, created by men thousands of years ago.

✅ Not hers ✅ Okay with adults

Good abortion is murder
