Alabama Is The 4th State To File A Copycat Version Of Texas’ Extreme Abortion Ban

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Pro-choice advocates warned a domino effect would happen in the wake of Texas’ extreme abortion restriction – and it’s officially underway. “And these lawmakers will stop at nothing to attack abortion from every angle imaginable.” Some believe that Kiel’s copycat bill and others like it in Arkansas, Florida and Ohio are nothing more than political grandstanding since the Texas law could be struck down at any moment by the Supreme Court. Although many of the Supreme Court justices seemed open to allowing legal challenges to Texas’ abortion ban, a decision has yet to be handed down. Anti-abortion advocate Eric Johnson, who is an Alabama Pro-Life Coalition attorney and author of the state law banning abortion, told local news outlet Alabama.com that he thought Kiel’s bill was “premature” and a “waste of time” when the Supreme Court has yet to decide on the Texas case. Just last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case that centers on a Mississippi 15-week abortion ban.
