July 2, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Federal judges in Alabama and Indiana moved Wednesday to stifle two pieces of significant pro-life legislation.
In Alabama, provisions implemented to protect unborn babies from abortions obtained by teen mothers without parental consent were deemed “unconstitutional.” Meanwhile, an Indiana judge blocked a law requiring abortion facilities to inform women about abortion pill reversal procedures while a Planned Parenthood lawsuit challenging the law progresses through the courts.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Alabama upheld a 2017 federal ruling that struck down pro-life provisions added to the Alabama Parental Consent Act in 2014. Like similar legislation in many other states, the Alabama law bars minor girls from obtaining an abortion without parental consent. However, a judicial bypass provision in the law allows minors from abusive homes to request a judge’s permission instead.
