I guess Alabama Republicans were worried that if they continued to allow abortion after rape and incest their bloodlines would die out.

Really, really grim.
And here’s the lads that made it happen.... can’t help notice they’ve got a few things in common.
These 25 Republicans – all white men – just voted to ban abortion in Alabama
Legislation makes abortion a crime at any stage of pregnancy, with the only exception for a serious threat to the health of the woman
Very.
Coleman-Madison brings an amendment: if a woman is forced to keep a child, Alabama must provide prenatal and medical care until the child is 13. - Of course this amendment failed, so called “pro-life” doesn’t mean “pro-healthy-life” after all.
"We could be saving babies lives with this money" Singleton emphasizing the legal fees taxpayers will face supporting this bill in court.
Almost as if this isn’t about life but about controlling women’s bodies - only some women’s bodies of course, not those that get IVF as that might affect the lives of those 25 congressmen.
And how do they tell who has had a spontaneous miscarriage and one that has been induced - are they going to grill every woman that miscarries?

One strange country.
Absolutely vile, all of them. Where are all these bills for men, women dont get pregnant on their own. Are the men going to be threatened with 99 years in jail if they dont parent the child, or is the rapist going to get 99 years in jail. God help a poor woman who has a miscarriage.
You can also guarantee that a few of these already have or will be happy to take their mistress for one when it suits

Not even remotely justifying this absolute abomination of a law, but from what I’ve read, the penalties are on the Doctor, not the mother
When even Pat Roberston says it is an extreme law you know you are way out there.
I mean this is the same Pat Robertson that said "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
A forced birth against a womans will, including if she is raped, is a penalty.
