Alabama wants to overturn Roe V Wade
Alabama Law Makers are trying to be smart…
See, Roe v Wade explicitly says that a woman cannot be unduly or unfairly affected by the abortion laws of her State. The State Law cannot place unfair burden on the woman. So, Alabama Law makers are going to argue that their law says that the Doctor who performs the abortion will be prosecuted, but not the woman. A Woman who gets an abortion when the law is in effect will be allowed to go free.
Ahhhh the cunning…
To add to it all, Alabama Law Makers are confident in their quest to overturn Roe v Wade, because the Supreme Court is stacked to favor the Conservative view. Brett Kavannaugh was hand picked and perfectly placed in his seat on the court for such a time as this.
Brett Kavannaugh, it is time to pay your debt.
