To once again explain the reason behind this Day of Action, below:
Alabama’s new law mandating an almost blanket ban on abortion, the strictest in the United States, was passed by 25 white male politicians, all of whom are Republicans. Lawmakers approved the legislation after a debate that stretched more than four hours on last Tuesday, where minority Democrats introduced a slew of amendments in an attempt to block it. There are only four women in the Alabama senate, who are among the eight-strong Democratic party minority in the upper chamber of the state legislature. “This bill is about control,” the state senator Linda Coleman-Madison told the bill’s proponents, in the video “What female senators had to say about Alabama’s abortion bill“, below:
Renewed efforts to make abortions harder to obtain in several U.S. states have sparked protests. In the last year, several states including Georgia, Mississippi, Ohio and Kentucky have passed so-called heartbeat bills. The bills ban abortion as soon as a heartbeat can be detected — which could be as early as six weeks into pregnancy. Last week, Alabama made it illegal for doctors to perform abortions even in cases of rape and incest, in the video “Tougher abortion laws spark protests in U.S.“, below:
