On Tuesday night, the Alabama State Senate passed the nation's most restrictive abortion law, effectively banning abortion in all but a minuscule sliver of cases.
Any doctor who performs an abortion (at any stage of pregnancy) will receive a minimum of 10 years in prison. The bill contains no exceptions for rape or incest and will now proceed to the desk of Governor Kay Ivey (R).
Even if she decides to sign it, however, the bill will most likely be challenged in court, eventually working its way to the Supreme Court where the new conservative majority will decide whether or not to overturn Roe v. Wade (the bill's actual intention).
Celebrities everywhere are speaking out against the blow to women's rights.

Laws like the ones passed in Alabama and Georgia are unconstitutional. Let your voice be heard and stop them from going any further!
