The law would have called for a sentence of 10 years to life in prison for the abortion provider with no exceptions for rape or incest.
Politicians, listen closely: We have a constitutional right to abortion. If you try to ban it, we will see you in court.The law, which would have made it a felony for a doctor to perform or attempt an abortion during any stage of pregnancy with no exceptions for rape or incest was the strictest of several anti-abortion measures enacted this year.
“Today’s decision recognizes this ban for what it is: a blatantly unconstitutional attack on the fundamental right to abortion. The Alabama ban, and the others like it, are the culmination of a nationwide strategy to push abortion out of reach," Alexa Kolbi-Molinas, senior staff attorney for the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, said in a statement.
"As we have stated before, the States objective is to advance our case to the U.S. Supreme Court where we intend to submit evidence that supports our argument that Roe and Casey were wrongly decided and that the Constitution does not prohibit states from protecting unborn children from abortion," Marshall said in a statement.
