    Alabama State Senate Officially Passes Near-Total Anti-Abortion Law

    The Alabama State Senate passed the bill on Tuesday night.

    What We Know: 

    • The bill was passed with a 25 to 6 vote.
    • It is being called a “near-total” anti-abortion bill due to no exceptions for rape or incest.
    • The bill is the most restrictive anti-abortion measure passed since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.
    • The bill becoming law now depends on the Republican governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey. Since the approval of the bill she has denied public comment.
    • The bill known as House Bill 314, “Human Life Protection Act” — bans all abortions in the state except when “abortion is necessary in order to prevent a serious health risk” to the woman, as stated in the bill.
    • Abortion has been reclassified as “a Class A felony, punishable by up to 99 years in prison for doctors” and “attempted abortions will be reclassified as a Class C penalty.”
    • While Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth tweeted Tuesday night how he was happy “Alabama was leading the way”, Senate Minority Leader Bobby Singleton stated in a debate leading up to the vote that “you just said to my daughter, you don’t matter, you don’t matter in the state of Alabama.”
    • It will take six months to take effect if Ivey signs the bill into law.

    Hopefully, Ivey sees how this new law would do more harm than good.
