Hopefully, theres no going back now!
Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed the controversial Alabama abortion bill into law on Wednesday.
The law will make nearly all abortions in the state illegal and make performing one a felony, punishable by up to 99 years or life in prison unless the mother’s health is at risk.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) vowed to sue after the state Senate approved the measure Tuesday night. On Wednesday evening the group followed up in a tweet: “You can’t say we didn’t warn you, @GovernorKayIvey. See you in court.”
“This legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God,” Ivey said in a statement.
Republican state Rep. Terri Collins, who sponsored the bill, aimed to reignite the debate surrounding Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion across the nation, and to push justices to overturn the landmark ruling. Currently, the law will not be enforceable because of the current Supreme Court ruling that makes abortions a constitutional right. Ivey acknowledged this upon signing the bill.
“In all meaningful respects, this bill closely resembles an abortion ban that has been a part of Alabama law for well over 100 years. As today’s bill itself recognizes, that longstanding abortion law has been rendered “unenforceable as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade,” she said.
“No matter one’s personal view on abortion, we can all recognize that, at least for the short term, this bill may similarly be unenforceable. As citizens of this great country, we must always respect the authority of the U.S. Supreme Court even when we disagree with their decisions. Many Americans, myself included, disagreed when Roe v. Wade was handed down in 1973. The sponsors of this bill believe that it is time, once again, for the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit this important matter, and they believe this act may bring about the best opportunity for this to occur.”
A Fox News poll conducted in February tallied voters’ familiarity with Roe v. Wade, and 48 percent said they are “extremely” or “very” familiar with the ruling while the exact same number are “somewhat” or “not at all” familiar with the case.
Moreover, 57 percent of voters say the Supreme Court should let the 46-year old ruling stand; that number jumps to 68 percent among those who are familiar with the case.

Its Time to over turn Roe v Wade, that bill is the reason that all these helpless babies where murdered,and allowed Planned parenthood, to evolve and they where allowing these murdering abortionist to murder these babies in the womb, while still alive they where mutilating these babies for there parts to be sold, these scum on earth abortionist all should be held accountable,and put in prison for murder, and the pregnant mother should also be held accountable, as well.
Hey genius! Roe v Wade was one of the few cases of Solomonic wisdom from the Supreme Court. I’m an independent and an enthusiastic Trump supporter. Your type of Republican is ideologically inconsistent. You are supposed to be for LESS government interference in our lives yet you want laws to control women’s lives. It sounds like you would like to implement sharia law. Are you Islamic? Did you vote for Ilhan Omar? If you’re a Christian, I guess your Christianity is no better than Islam. How can you be against things like gun control but for controlling women’s bodies. I’ll make a deal with you women out there; you leave me and my guns alone and I’ll leave you and your body alone. You, sir, are an ideological idiot!
LIES, How can the RepUGLYcant’s give themselves this idiotic and twisted credit (if anyone can find some credit in the first place) to OVERTHROW their Satanic God of what they set in motion to begin with — Roe-vs-Wade — A a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides a fundamental “right to privacy” that protects a pregnant woman’s liberty to choose whether or not to have an abortion. Now what FLIP FLOP and tell the world that ONLY…..ONLY Republicunt Women are the ONLY ONES that compromise their health when THEY GET PREGNANT, and so it’s OK to have an abortion if YOU ARE A REPUBICUNT PREGNANT WOMAN? Wow,….I can see this whole HYPOCRISY and twisted THING coming. I knew it! Hypocrisy RULES when it invoves ANYTHING that’s Republican’t. Maybe they should change their name to something like HYPO-REPO-CANS…..LMAO!
You people are idiots! Republicans are supposed to want less government. I’m an independent and I’ll make a deal with the women out there; “You leave my guns alone and I’ll leave your body alone.” How in the H*LL can we justify opposition to gun control while attempting to control women’s bodies. I guess next we’ll require women to dress like Ilhan Omar enforce sharia law with respect to women. Idiotic!
The article says “Set in stone”
That’s misleading at best, no matter which side you are on. Is that necessary? It makes all this look like fake news.

Abortion is not needed for the most part as every Woman can access birth control, yes some Doctors will not give a woman the birth control they want and that needs to change by making it a crime for any Doctor to withhold birth control from any woman even no matter how old or young they are. It is cheaper to use birth control then it is to have an abortion and less trauma is caused to the women. I am for giving Women free or reduced cost birth control. The use of birth control is a way of saving the lives of babies by not conceiving them when they are not yet wanted.
