"Although Doug Jones, a former U.S. attorney, has an impressive résumé, the truth is that there is one big substantive reason why very few conservatives anywhere—specifically, the kind of voters who might be turned off to Roy Moore—could pull the lever for Jones: abortion." https://yakov-a-jerkov.livejournal.com/1396928.html?thread=47529408#t47529408
The Human Life Protection Act, also known as House Bill 314 (HB 314) and the Alabama abortion ban, is an Alabama statute enacted on May 15, 2019 that will impose a near-total ban on abortion in the state starting in November 2019. The bill was passed in both chambers of the Alabama Legislature in a party-line vote and signed by Republican governor Kay Ivey. Under the Human Life Protection Act, a doctor who performs a banned abortion in the state of Alabama would be guilty of a Class A felony and could be sentenced to life imprisonment. Several proposed amendments that would have allowed abortions in cases of rape and incest were rejected. The bill's sponsor, Republican representative Terri Collins, has stated that she hopes the law will lead to a legal challenge in which Roe v. Wade is overturned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Life_Protection_Act
