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,...
