26-23H-2
Section 26-23H-2 Legislative Findings. (a) This state's statute criminalizing abortion,
Section 13A-13-7, has never been repealed. It has remained unenforceable as a result of the
U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973) and its progeny, which struck
down as unconstitutional a Texas statute criminalizing abortion and which effectively
repealed by implication and made unenforceable all other state statutes criminalizing abortion.
(b) On November 6, 2018, electors in this state approved by a majority vote a constitutional
amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901 declaring and affirming the public policy
of the state to recognize and support the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn
children. The amendment made it clear that the Constitution of Alabama of 1901 does not include
a right to an abortion or require the funding of abortions using public funds. (c)
In present state law, Section 13A-6-1 defines a person for homicide purposes to include an...
