Alabama passed an extremely strict law banning abortion pretty much. So anyone who is a victim of incest, rape, and wants to make a choice to not have a baby, is pretty much screwed. And this is wrong on so many levels.
We as women are losing the right to make our own choices in regard to our bodies. Who do lawmakers think they are taking control over a body that is not theirs?
Alabama's near total abortion is the most restrictive law since Roe vs. Wade. It only allows abortion when necessary, which can mean so many things.
This law makes no exceptions for those who were raped and victims of incest; PLEASE READ THIS AGAIN AND TELL ME HOW MESSED UP THIS IS.
Gov Ivy passed the law believing that every child is a gift to the world; in other words, she is completely biased and in my mind delusional.
I think this governor is a woman who is completely lacking knowledge of other's situations and she should even be more sympathetic if you are a woman.
These men in power who reviewed the law should not even have a say hence because they are men, They have no idea what goes on inside a woman's body let alone mind when pregnant with a child. Celebrities like Chris Evans and Evan Rachel Wood back lashed the law and supported women's rights to terminate the pregnancy if necessary.
Just because the law says the baby inside the person is a human does not mean that it should be placed in the world; you have to take into account the woman which is what the law is missing. How will a woman of rape who is pregnant be able to cope with such the birth of a child? Is it even good for the child to be placed in the world? I bet the legislators did not think of that when they made the law.
This is one of the most controversial laws passed that will affect women across the nation if it spreads to other states. It affects how us women obtain safe abortions when needed and affects if we want to bring a child into the world to take care of. This law is not only offensive but will also cause mental strain on all women in Alabama having to face the facts that they have no choice but to have a baby. This can create chaos of unsafe abortions and protests to come.
Victims of rape for instance and incest should not have to have a child if needed when they did not ask for it; they may not be even capable of taking care of the child, that the lawmakers did not even think of that.
This issue will be a hot topic and a scary one for us women that we need to fight; it is our body and right to have pro choice rights in America.
