(5,754 posts)No passport or travel documents required. Will they stop all cars at every road that crosses the state line? And then what? Force every woman to pee on pregnancy test strip? And then what? Maybe women will be able to prove that they weren't in Alabama on the date in question. Then what?

(41 posts)The Alabama bill says nothing about seeking an abortion elsewhere and specifically states that the mother is not held criminally or civilly liable. The physician who performs one for any other reason than health of the mother will be sent to prison. I called my state senator today to shame him and left a message for Kay Ivey that I'm sure she'll never get. I also called Senator Singleton's office to thank him for everything he did to try to keep it from passing.

(453 posts)They will simply call their procedure a D&C. Their physicians are on board with this. Or they simply won't tell anyone and have it in their high-priced doctor's office.

(64,933 posts)So they are going to search all women leaving the state? Im sure we all know that it will only be women of color who are searched.

(11,491 posts)I hope no one sues because thats what they want to outlaw all abortion and with this court it could happen. Sadly if I got pregnant in that state I would move out of state.
All women should refuse sex unless the men wear a condom. Unless they are post menopause.
