Montgomery, AL - Fridays are procedure days @ one of the last three clinics in Alabama. This morning, the umbrellas are up, but it isn’t raining. Volunteers lined up at the entrance to protect the women arriving for an abortion. 
As women arrive, shielded under the umbrellas, anti-abortion activists yell through a megaphone “at 11 weeks, a baby smiles,” to try and dissuade them from going inside. Volunteers play loud music in an attempt to drown them out.
Across the street, a bus offers free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds. A sign reading “fake bus clinic” is inside the car parked in front of it. Anti-abortion activists surround the bus with signs saying “choose life.”
Alabama's #HB314 law to ban abortion is not just a disgusting attack on women, and an attempt for men and society to once again own women's bodies, it is bad law supported by a bunch of idiots who don't know what they're doing. #alpolitics
The main proponent of #HB314 says it still allows for women to get an abortion BEFORE knowing they're pregnant, and that this is a safeguard. But once they do something to know (like take a necessary test) they can't get one. I have heard some daft things in my time, but this....
There is NO provision in #HB314 to protect those who are raped or survivors of incest. Apparently they are just supposed to come forward immediately and get said abortion based on aforementioned "safeguard". This is repugnant and ignores understanding of trauma. #alpolitics
