Getting to know the personal life of Alabama Governor Kay Ivey, who signed the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, the strictest anti-abortion bill into law on May 15.
On May 15, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed into law the controversial anti-abortion law, in which doctors in the state could face up to 99 years in prison for performing an abortion unless a woman’s health is at “serious” risk. The Alabama Human Life Protection Act outlaws almost all abortions in the state, and she signed the bill after the state’s Republican-controlled Senate voted to remove exceptions for victims of rape and incest.
The 75-year-old republican was in her second term as Alabama’s lieutenant governor when she took over for Gov.
