BREAKING: Alabama governor signs nation's strictest abortion ban, which makes performing an abortion a felony in nearly all cases.
Alabama’s governor has signed the most stringent abortion ban in the nation.
Ivey told reporters Wednesday that she will review the legislation approved by lawmakers Tuesday night before announcing her decision. She says potential legal fees should not deter “efforts to protect the unborn.” Staci Fox, of Planned Parenthood Southeast, said they urged Ivey to veto “this dangerous bill.” She says they’ll file a legal challenge against the ban if needed to block it from taking effect.
