Rihanna Slams Alabama Governor & Male Lawmakers Over Abortion Bill

Women would no longer be able to seek an abortion legally in the state if they had fallen pregnant through rape.

These extremist Republican lawmakers know what the law is - but they don't care. "Federal laws that ensure real access to birth control and abortion care for all women".

"Our democracy should not be held hostage by right-wing courts, and women should not have to hope that Brett Kavanaugh and Donald Trump's Supreme Court will respect the law", she said.

I'll be blunt: It just might work. Republicans have pushed for the opposite, imposing rules that prohibited government-backed insurance from covering abortion services and trying to limit the ability of private insurers to do so.

Under Warren's plan, Congress would pass laws that prohibit states from passing their own measures blocking people from accessing certain medical procedures and medical providers from performing specific procedures, including abortions. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of NY, also a 2020 candidate, said, "This is a war on women, and it is time to fight like hell".

Seventy-one percent of Americans, including 52 percent of Republicans, oppose overturning Roe v. Wade.

Other states - Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio and Georgia - have passed bills to ban abortion after six weeks, the point at which cardiac activity can be detected.

Missouri's bill also includes an outright ban on abortions except in cases of medical emergencies. Let's be absolutely clear: "women will die and doctors could spend up to 99 years in prison with Alabama's new law", Porter added.

The Grammy Award-winning singer joined other A-list celebs in pushing back against the legislation, which prevents abortion in almost all cases, including cases of rape and incest. Cuomo, a Catholic, celebrated the signing "by ordering that the spire at One World Trade Center, the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, the Kosciuszko Bridge and the Alfred E. Smith Building in Albany all be lit in pink", The Daily Wire previously reported.

The Democrats running for their party's 2020 presidential nomination took to social media to declare that the law "extreme" and an "utter disgrace". After the Supreme Court's ruling in Roe v. Wade in 1973, Biden said a woman shouldn't have the "sole right to say what should happen to her body".

"My goal with this bill, and I think all of our goal, is to have Roe v. Wade turned over, and that decision be sent back to the states", said Alabama state Senator Terri Collins, a sponsor of the bill.
