Section 26-23E-10 Paternity inquiries of pregnant minor child; reporting requirements. (a)
Any minor child under the age of 16 seeking an abortion from an abortion or reproductive health
care facility shall be asked by the physician performing the abortion or his or her agent
to state the name and age of the individual who is believed to be the father of the unborn
child. While the minor child may refuse to provide the father's name and age, she should be
encouraged to do so by the physician or agent consistent with the physician's legal obligation
to reduce the incidence of child abuse when there is reason to suspect that it has occurred.
(b) In addition to any other abuse reporting requirements that may apply to the staff of an
abortion or reproductive health center, if the reported age of the father is two or more years
greater than the age of the minor child, the facility shall report the names of the pregnant
minor child and the father to both local law enforcement and the county...

Section 26-23B-4 Determination of postfertilization age of unborn child. (a) Except in the
case of a medical emergency, no abortion shall be performed or induced or be attempted to
be performed or induced unless the physician performing or inducing the abortion has first
made a determination of the probable postfertilization age of the unborn child or relied upon
such a determination made by another physician. In making such a determination, the physician
shall make such inquiries of the woman and perform or cause to be performed such medical examinations
and tests as a reasonably prudent physician, knowledgeable about the case and the medical
conditions involved, would consider necessary to perform in making an accurate diagnosis with
respect to postfertilization age. (b) Failure by any physician to conform to any requirement
of this section constitutes unprofessional conduct. (Act 2011-672, p. 1784, §4.)...

Section 26-23G-3 Dismemberment abortion prohibited unless necessary to prevent serious health
risk to mother of unborn child. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it shall be
unlawful for any individual to purposely perform or attempt to perform a dismemberment abortion
and thereby kill an unborn child unless necessary to prevent serious health risk to the unborn
child's mother. (b) An individual accused in any proceeding of unlawful conduct under subsection
(a) may seek a hearing before the State Board of Medical Examiners on whether the dismemberment
abortion was necessary to prevent serious health risk to the unborn child's mother. The findings
of the board are admissible on that issue at any trial in which such unlawful conduct is alleged.
Upon a motion of the individual accused, the court shall delay the beginning of the trial
for not more than 30 days to permit the hearing to take place. (c) No woman upon whom an abortion
is performed or attempted to be performed shall...

Section 26-23A-4 Voluntary and informed consent required for abortion. Except in the case of
a medical emergency, no abortion shall be performed or induced without the voluntary and informed
consent of the woman upon whom the abortion is to be performed or induced. Except in the case
of a medical emergency, consent to an abortion is voluntary and informed if and only if: (a)
At least 48 hours before the abortion, the physician who is to perform the abortion, the referring
physician, or a qualified person has informed and provided the woman in person, or by return
receipt certified mail restricted delivery, and if by mail, again in person prior to the abortion,
a copy of the printed materials in Section 26-23A-5 which list agencies that offer assistance,
adoption agencies, development of the unborn child, methods and risks of abortion and childbirth,
father's obligations, and alternatives to abortion. Mailing of the materials in Section 26-23A-5
may be arranged by telephone. (b) Prior...

Section 26-23E-7 Prescription of abortion-inducing drugs. Only a physician may give, sell,
dispense, administer, or otherwise prescribe an abortion-inducing drug. Because the failure
and complications from medical abortion increase with advancing gestational age, because the
physical symptoms of medical abortion can be identical to the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy,
and because abortion-inducing drugs do not treat ectopic pregnancies but rather are contraindicated
in ectopic pregnancies, the physician giving, selling, dispensing, administering, or otherwise
providing or prescribing the abortion-inducing drug must first examine the pregnant woman
in person and document, in the woman's medical chart, the gestational age and intrauterine
location of the pregnancy prior to giving, selling, dispensing, administering, or otherwise
providing or prescribing the abortion-inducing drug. (Act 2013-79, p. 165, §7.)...

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...

Section 26-23C-3 Opt out of abortion coverage. (a) No abortion coverage may be provided by
a qualified health plan offered through an exchange created pursuant to P.L. 111-148 within
the State of Alabama. (b) This prohibition shall not apply to an abortion performed when the
life of the mother is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury,
including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself,
or when the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest or any procedure to terminate
an ectopic pregnancy. (Act 2012-405, p. 1108, §3.)...

recipient whose eligibility has been revoked. (a) Upon determination by a utilization review
committee of the designated State Medicaid Agency that a Medicaid recipient has abused, defrauded,
or misused the benefits of the program said recipient shall immediately become ineligible

fraud or other deliberate misuse of the program shall not be deemed eligible for future Medicaid
