In what many legal experts are considering a setup for a Supreme Court showdown, the State of Alabama has voted to outlaw abortion without exceptions for rape or incest. An exception is in the law for physical danger to the life of the mother. Penalties under the law are only in scope for abortion providers, not the mothers who receive the abortions.
The law is written in such a way as to force an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, where it is presumed that a 5-4 conservative/pro-life majority of Justices would find in favour of the law, possibly also striking down or greatly rolling back the Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton decisions that legalised abortion across the United States in 1973. Pro-Abortion political experts are in a near panic preparing for a legal showdown that will define a generation.
