Section 26-21-1 Legislative purpose and findings. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature in
enacting this parental consent provision to further the important and compelling state interests
of: (1) protecting minors against their own immaturity, (2) fostering the family structure
and preserving it as a viable social unit, and (3) protecting the rights of parents to rear
children who are members of their household. (b) The Legislature finds as fact that: (1) immature
minors often lack the ability to make fully informed choices that take account of both immediate
and long-range consequences, (2) the medical, emotional, and psychological consequences of
abortion are serious and can be lasting, particularly when the patient is immature, (3) the
capacity to become pregnant and the capacity for mature judgment concerning the wisdom of
an abortion are not necessarily related, (4) parents ordinarily possess information essential
to a physician's exercise of his or her best medical judgment...

Section 26-23C-2 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds all
of the following: (1) Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148,
federal tax dollars, via affordability credits, subsidies provided to individuals between
150-400 percent of the federal poverty level, are routed to exchange participating health
insurance plans, including plans that provide coverage for abortions. (2) Federal funding
of insurance plans that provide abortions is an unprecedented change in federal abortion funding
policy. The Hyde Amendment, as passed each year in the Labor Health and Human Services Appropriations
bill, and the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, FEHBP, prohibit federal funds from
subsidizing health insurance plans that provide abortions. Under this new law, however, exchange
participating health insurance plans that provide abortions can receive federal funds. (3)
The provision of federal funding for health insurance plans that...
