    Default Alabama senate passes a near-total abortion ban

    This includes no exceptions for rape or incest

    https://news.sky.com/story/alabama-s...ncest-11720374

    Alabama's Republican-controlled state senate has passed a bill to outlaw abortion - challenging a landmark US Supreme Court ruling that legalised abortion across the country in the 1970s.
    The legislation approved by 25 votes to six on Tuesday amounts to a near-total ban on abortion in the state, making it a crime to perform an abortion at any stage of pregnancy and punishable by up to 99 years or life in prison.
    The only exception would be when the woman's health is at serious risk.
    The bill contains no exception for rape and incest.

    A total of 16 states so far this year have introduced legislation restricting abortion rights.

    For a country who is meant to be ahead of time and love to talk about much Freedom, Freedom, Freedom they have all the time, this doesn't look like freedom in any sense.
    Why are so many people and countries going back in the past?
