Reply To: Attack on Abortion Law
Alabama voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to outlaw almost all abortions in the state. The text of the Alabama bill likens legalized abortion to history’s greatest atrocities, including the Holocaust.
Louise Alexander, a Democrat, said the choice to give birth to a child should be left up to a woman, and the decision should not be made on the floor of the Alabama Legislature.

Rolanda Hollis, a Birmingham Democrat, read a poem that criticized Republicans’ embrace of gun rights but not abortion rights, and later referred to the state as “Ala-Backwards.”
