Abortion bill keeps Alabama in the dark ages

Alabama Republicans have passed an abortion bill that all but bans abortion, the only exception being a woman's health. (My guess is a woman would have to die to prove a health issue.)

No exceptions for rape or incest and doctors who perform abortions would receive a sentence of 99 years to life -- more than a rapist gets.

Governor Kay Ivey hasn't signed it yet, but they'll probably hang her if she doesn't.

The plan is to get this up to the Supreme Court where it is expected that the five conservative creatures would use it to overturn Roe v Wade.

Just wondering here, but is Alabama planning to bring back burning at the stake? And are they going to make attending (a certain) church mandatory?

Women won't be able to vote? Women will, by law, told to obey their husbands? A woman's place will be in the home?

Seems that Alabama is the home of the American Taliban.
