26-23E-2
Section 26-23E-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1)
That the percentage of abortion or reproductive health centers that have been subject to adverse
licensure action vastly exceeds the percentage of facilities in any other category that have
similarly been subject to adverse licensure actions. This alarming level of regulatory non-compliance
among abortion and reproductive health centers in Alabama puts abortion patients at unreasonable
risk. (2) At abortion or reproductive health centers, patients are often treated in a manner
inconsistent with a traditional physician/patient relationship. (3) Abortion or reproductive
health centers are not operated in the same manner as ambulatory surgical treatment centers
or physician offices. (4) Abortion involves not only a surgical procedure with the usual risks
attending surgery, but also involves the taking of human life. (5) Abortion is a highly personal
and very sensitive procedure which results in stress...

26-23F-3
Section 26-23F-3 Definitions. For the purpose of this chapter, the following words and
phrases shall have the following meanings: (1) ABORTION. The use or prescription of any instrument,
medicine, drug, or any other substance or device with the intent to terminate the pregnancy
of a woman known to be pregnant with knowledge that the termination by those means will with
reasonable likelihood cause the death of the unborn child. Such use or prescription is not
an abortion if done with the intent to save the life or preserve the health of an unborn child,
remove a dead unborn child, or to deliver the unborn child prematurely in order to preserve
the health of both the mother (pregnant woman) and her unborn child. The term "abortion"
as used in this chapter, does not include a procedure or act to terminate the pregnancy of
a woman with an ectopic pregnancy, nor does it include the procedure or act to terminate the
pregnancy of a woman when the unborn child has a lethal anomaly. (2) BODILY...

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Section 13A-13-7, has never been repealed.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repealed by implication and made unenforceable all other state statutes criminalizing abortion.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...

26-23A-2
Section 26-23A-2 Legislative findings; purpose. (a) The Legislature of the State of
Alabama finds that: (1) It is essential to the psychological and physical well-being of a
woman considering an abortion that she receive complete and accurate information on her alternatives.
(2) Most abortions are performed in clinics devoted solely to providing abortions and family
planning services. Most women who seek abortions at these facilities do not have any relationship
with the physician who performs the abortion, before or after the procedure. Most women do
not return to the facility for post-surgical care. In most instances, the woman's only actual
contact with the physician occurs simultaneously with the abortion procedure, with little
opportunity to receive counseling concerning her decision. (3) The decision to abort is an
important, and often a stressful one, and it is desirable and imperative that it be made with
full knowledge of its nature and consequences. The medical, emotional,...
