Alabama and Abortion

Alabama just passed an amendment that

"make(s) it state policy to recognize and support the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children, including the right to life and to state that no provisions of the constitution provide a right to an abortion or require funding of abortions."

Kavanaugh makes this likely to withstand a Constitutional challenge (he lied about Roe being settled law). We are on our way back to the time when abortion was illegal and women were criminals.
