2023 will definitely be a good year for babies in Alabama.
As of June 24th, 2022, abortion is now illegal in Alabama.
When Roe v. Wade was overturned, Alabama officially became an abortion-free state.
But, we don’t need to forget that it hasn’t always been that way.
Since 1993, West Alabama Women’s Center in Tuscaloosa has been one of the abortion leaders in the state. According to the Alabama Department of Public Health, on average, over 3,000 babies were killed each year through surgical and medical abortions. It is conservatively estimated that since 1993, over 85,000 babies have been killed at this abortion location. For many years, in Tuscaloosa County, more babies were killed by abortion than were born alive.
We are thankful that abortion is now illegal, but women are still facing unplanned pregnancies. Now, more than ever, we need to step up and help these women and their babies not just survive, but thrive.
