- The Alabama,state of U.S.A. has passed the most restrictive abortion bill in the United States.
- The bill has placed a near-total ban on the termination of pregnancy even in cases of rape and incest and could punish doctors who perform the procedure with life imprisonment.
- Under the bill, performing an abortion is a crime that could land doctors who perform such surgeries in prison for 10 to 99 years.Abortions would only be legal if the life of the mother is in danger or if the foetus has a fatal condition.
- The American Civil Liberties Union has said that they will challenge the bill in the Supreme Court.The recent addition of the conservative judge to the Supreme Court has encouraged pro-life campaigners to push for anti-abortion legislation.
- Pro-life activists hopes that the abortion bans at the state level will eventually lead to an overturning of Roe v Wade,the 1973 landmark Supreme Court ruling that protects a woman’s right to seek abortion in the constitution.
