Alabama Attorney General Explains Alabama’s Abortion Law. There is no provision for rape or incest. Under the law women who are pregnant under those circumstances are required to carry rape or incest pregnancies to term.
Alabama’s abortion law, known as the “Human Life Protection Act'” went into effect on Friday June 24, the same day that the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade.
The lone exception is for serious medical risk to the mother of the child. Under these circumstances a pregnancy may be terminated. Certain perimeters would have to be met for a valid exception.
