Two Alabama legislators have introduced bills that would ban almost all abortions in the state, except those performed to save women's lives.
The bills are similar to legislation banning abortion that passed in South Dakota last month and was signed on March 6 by Republican Gov. Mike Rounds.
"I thought if South Dakota can do it, Alabama ought to do it because we are a family-friendly state," said state Sen. Hank Erwin, R-Montevallo, who has introduced a bill in the Senate that would even ban abortions in cases where a woman became pregnant because of rape or incest.
"I don't think you need to penalize the unborn child when something like that happens," Erwin said.
A similar bill has been introduced in the House by Rep. Nick Williams, R-McIntosh.
Both bills have been assigned to committees, but no further action has been taken. The bills would make it a felony crime to perform abortions in Alabama.

"I don't think you need to penalize the unborn child when something like that happens," Erwin said.
As if growing up inbred, deformed and retarded isn't a penalty when something like "that" happens. I went to school with a whole family of inbred kids in Clay County. I know they had a very hard life.
Hank Erwin is a really sad case. Someone please run against this dufus in the Senate.
Isn't it funny how men have introduced these pieces of legislation? What makes them think they have any right to legislate anything to do with my vagina, uterus, ovaries or breasts? I'd say until they have vaginas they have no business trying to legislate anything having to do with them.
Additionally, the government should not be in charge of abortion. We let them be in charge of the war on poverty and poverty has increased drastically. We let them be in charge of addressing drug use and now we have the drug war and drug use has risen drastically. If we let them be in charge of abortion in five years MEN will be having abortions.
If you don't want to have an abortion....then don't have one. It's very simple.
