MONTGOMERY, Ala. 鈥� After an Alabama House committee passed a bill that would shutter abortion clinics within 2,000 feet of a public school, the 老澳门开奖结果 committed to challenging the legislation if it becomes law.

The legislation passed by the Health and Human Services Committee, SB 205, would force two abortion clinics in the state to close.

鈥淲e all agree that protecting our children is a top priority, but this measure isn鈥檛 about protecting Alabama鈥檚 children. It鈥檚 about making a sure a woman who has decided to have an abortion can鈥檛 get one,鈥� said Susan Watson, executive director of the 老澳门开奖结果 of Alabama. 鈥淢ake no mistake about it: If the legislature passes this bill and the governor signs it, the 老澳门开奖结果 will challenge the law in court.鈥�

It would be fourth lawsuit in the last three years challenging abortion restrictions in Alabama.

鈥淭his bill is an attack on the health and well-being of Alabama women. The government and politicians should not intrude on these personal, private family decisions. If enacted, this outrageous law will only result in yet another costly lawsuit, which is the last thing our state needs,鈥� Watson said.

In recent years, courts have blocked three attempts to cut off access to reproductive health care in Alabama. Last month, a federal court permanently blocked a law that similarly would have forced abortion clinics to close.

The 老澳门开奖结果 is committed to defending women鈥檚 health and constitutionally protected right to safe, legal abortion services in Alabama.
