I came across this little addendum to the abortion issue that has been in the news recently. And I think illustrates a significant aspect of what is going on in the minds and hearts of the politicians who are passing these anti-abortion laws throughout the U,S.
Alabama legislators refuse to fund mother and child health care as they ban nearly all abortions
Alabama legislators refuse to fund mother and child health care as they ban nearly all abortions
What do you think? Would you support such a measure? Does this seem fair to you?Alabama’s Senate approved legislation on Tuesday that would ban nearly all abortions in the state at every stage of pregancy, but refused to consider amendments that would take provide health care for the mothers who were denied abortions.
State Senator Linda Coleman-Madison proposed an amendment to the bill that would require the state to provide free prenatal and medical care for mothers who had been denied an abortion by the new law.
What do you think it means that this amendment was struck down so throughly, by the very same men who voted for such a harsh abortion ban? Are these men really deeply concerned about the health and well being of the unborn?Her amendment was struck down by a vote of 23-6.
