Washington DC Hillary Clinton on Wednesday called the recently signed abortion law in Alabama, and other pieces of legislation that restrict access to the procedure, an example of"appalling attacks on women's lives and fundamental freedoms."
Clinton joined the chorus of Democratic voices speaking out against the restrictive abortion bill signed into law by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday, which amounts to a near-total ban on the procedure in the state. Clinton lumped that bill in with recently passed legislation in other states that aims to limit access to abortion."The abortion bans in Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Mississippi are appalling attacks on women's lives and fundamental freedoms.
