Alabama Governor Signs Nation’s Most Restrictive Abortion Ban Into Law

“The ‘Human Life Protection Act,’ which is the most restrictive of its kind in the country, makes it a felony for doctors to perform an abortion at any state of pregnancy, including in cases of rape and incest. The law contains a single exception for when an ‘abortion is necessary in order to prevent a serious health risk,’ … Women seeking an abortion in the state will not face criminal charges.” - National Review
