Alabama Legislators Look to Ban Abortions
Multiple bills have been introduced in the Alabama Legislature that would ban abortions in that state except in the case where a mother's life is at stake. Republican Senator Hank Erwin admitted that South Dakota's leadership influenced his bill:
"I thought if South Dakota can do it, Alabama ought to do it because we are a family friendly state."
However, the Alabama legislative year is almost over, and the Democrats have solid control of both houses of the Legislature. This was more posturing than anything, but it's at least a nice thought.
