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,...
