Last week, Alabama enacted the most restrictive abortion laws in the United States. A woman could not end her pregnancy once the fetus has heartbeat. The governor stated she signed the law that reflects the high value on the 'sanctity of life'. The law would only permit abortions if the mother's life was at risk or the fetus was not viable. Unfortunately, Alabama is not the only state that has recently limited the woman's right to end a pregnancy. Missouri, Ohio and Georgia have also "heartbeat" legislation under consideration. These recent bills are particularly unsettling for women's rights. Will this lead to the Supreme Court? Will this lead to Roe v. Wade being overturned? As a Christian woman, I still believe that the State does not have the right to intervene. What might be right for some might not be for others, but that is not for government to decide.
