Intetesting appeasement. It is true one cannot dictate what another state may or not do. Doesn't mean we are not able to criticize what we see as immoral or inappropriate at the very least.

To your point. Yes there are females in the state. The point was that inside the Alabama Senate, only the males were the one to vote in the affirmative for this law. The female Senators refused to back it and voted against it. Yes to another respondent, Kay Ives the is the female govenor, and she signed the bill into law.

To another respondent, many of the males who backed the the new bill and claim to be opposed to abortions are not doing it out of compassion. Like rape which is not a crime about sex, instead its a crime about power. The power of a male to dominate and demean a women. Like rape, many of these males support it because they wantt to maintain the control over women. Why do I say this? Most if not all these men are Southern Baptists oe Evangelicals. Part of the practiced (practiced) tenets of these two religions involves keeping women supplicant to men. The ol' " barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen" syndrome. The so called"traditional family" structure.

The primary purpose behind this bill, the heartbeat bills in Georgia and Ohio, and the upcoming law in Missouri are about getting one of these bills to the Supreme Court. Given the new structure of the Supreme Court with five ultra-conservative judges, they feel that they are positioned to challenge and overthrow Roe v. Wade. They feel the timing is right. In the meantime, women in these states must suffer by being denied Planned Parenthood prenatal and natal services. Being denied birth control, and being denied the ability to control their own bodies. I don't see bills aimed at mens ED! That is how they are playing politics with womens bodies.

Alabama is generally the 48th or 49th out of 50 states in most categories. They are in fact a bunch of old, or middle old white men. They are blindly Christian fundamentalist and reason accordingly. Before someone claims that I am saying there are no intelligent, not so old persons in the state, I am sure there are. But they don't hold the reigns of power.

I concur. The entire red state collective are passing these repressive anti-abortion laws in a hope of getting one all the way the Supreme Court. Given the newly conservative Supreme Court judges, they are hoping to make an all out assault on Roe v Wade.
