Gov. Kay Ivey and Attorney General Steve Marshall have outlined what happens next for abortion in Alabama, now that the U.S. Supreme Court hasIvey released a statement, saying “Here in Alabama, we have been preparing for this day when the decision-making authority on abortion is rightfully returned to the states. In 2019, I was proud to sign into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, which is one of the strongest bans on abortion in the country.
“As I noted when I signed the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, every life is precious and a sacred gift from God. We will not relent in our efforts. Ensuring this 2019 law can be enforced is the next and very critical step to protecting our babies. Attorney General Steve Marshall issued this statement on the U.S. Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade:
“The issue of abortion now returns to the States-and the State of Alabama has unequivocally elected to be a protector of unborn life.“Because neither the United States Constitution nor the Alabama Constitution provides a right to abortion, Alabama laws that prohibit abortion and that have not been enjoined by a court are in full effect. For those laws that have been halted by courts, the State will immediately file motions to dissolve those injunctions.
