Alabama students speak out on abortion ban: ‘I’m not planning on living here after I graduate’ by lisabelkin & KaylaJardineV

The near-total abortion ban passed by the Alabama Legislature and signed into law this week was a major topic of conversation among students at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

“Even though we knew that this was coming, it’s shocking to me just how restrictive and inhumane it is,” Abba Mellon, the student president of Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity at the school, told Yahoo News’ Kayla Jardine. The Alabama Human Life Protection Act makes abortion illegal at every stage of pregnancy, even in cases of incest or rape, unless the mother’s life is in danger. It also makes the penalty for providing an abortion up to 99 years in prison.

Noting that the vote in the Alabama Senate was 25 to 6, with the majority being all white, Republican and male, Rivers added, “As a man, they don’t understand what a woman goes through.”

Lol, you interview the student president of Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity at a school, and push it as the majority. Hey, Yahoo, go interview some Catholics in Alabama and push it and watch how quickly you'd get backlash. equalityAmIrite

But it’s not inhumane to kill your own children?

Boycott' GOPs. Across the board!

But the age of consent in Alabama is only 16 years old. Like those 16-year-old girls aren't going to make mistakes due to raging hormones.

Agreed, abortion is inhumane.
