Doctors would, therefore, also in the case of abortion after rape or incest is punishable by law. The law, however, contradicts a more than 40-year-old judgment of the Supreme Court.

The Senate of Alabama passed a law, the abortions in the U.S. state in almost all cases, prohibit and Doctors would punish with up to 99 years in prison. The chamber agreed with a Republican majority for the controversial new rules on how US media unanimously reported. The Republican Governor Kay Ivey, the law is still sign.

After the ban would make Doctors who perform abortions, in the future, a serious Offence. This kind of deeds will be punished in the Federal state with ten to 99 years in prison. According to the law, abortions would be pregnancy after rape or incest is punishable by law. Would be exempt only in cases in which an abortion is necessary "to prevent a serious health risk for the mother of the unborn child". The law would enter the draft, only six months after it was signed by the Governor in force.

However, it is unlikely that the ban will be for the foreseeable future effectively, because it is a judgment of the Supreme Court from 1973 is contrary to the abortions in the whole USA allowed.

"We will sue to prevent this act shall take effect ever." The same is true for more restrictive laws in other States. Several States have already adopted stricter abortion regulations or are working on it. The law in Alabama would be the most in-depth.
