Legislation makes abortion a crime at any stage of pregnancy, with the only exception for a serious threat to the health of the woman

Alabama’s new law mandating an almost blanket ban on abortion, the strictest in the United States, was passed by this group of exclusively white, male politicians.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

They should check what happened in Rumania after the 1996 abortion ban...

Awesome!! Good on them!

Totally agree with the publicación of what, those Who represent us, say and do. Names included.

Sweet home Alabama

Stirring up racial animus, eh Guardian? This is not a good look.

I'm confused. Isnt gender fluid? So ostensibly they may have been women when they made the decision! Or am I losing track of when to push which narrative the left are pushing? Biology doesnt matter...or does it?

now if we only had journalism in this country, someone might investigate how many of the 25 have paid for their mistresses to have abortions

Why the racially charged language?

It looks like they want the southern union back.

I’d like to tell you about this thing called the Declaration of Independence and also this thing called the Constitution

They want babies to live? Well done!

Yeah, it’s so cool. White dudes are great 👍

I see they don't believe in the murder of an unborn child. Is that a problem?

Utterly racist, Guardian. Just when we think you can't stoop any lower you do. I'm reporting this to the police.

Pro death position Guardian? More blacks will die.

big thank you to these 25 white men. this is an amazing win for the right.

:-(

The whiteness of their skin is irrelevant...

Roll Tide. Garbage state.

Good for them!

Amazing that can’t see how racist and sexist this post is!!!

What percentage of the US Supreme Court who instituted abortion in the first place were men? (Hint... 100%) AbortionHypocrisy

And the WOMAN governor of Alamaba is going to sign it into law!!!

Your article is fakenews

How dare these legislators pass laws that reflect the views of people they were elected by. They should be serving people employed by The Guardian

Thank you for your service. Stunning and brave.

what’s race have to do with it? You know 40% of all abortions are black babies right? Are these “white men” somehow racist for wanting to stop that?

Kings

Thank you, Alabama white republicans

All of them are guilty of crimes against humanity

May God bless and protect every one of these good men. The world needs more good men who will stand beside, nurture and love women and children. Ban abortion and we will find a better way to love each other and protect and cherish life

👏👏👏👏

God bless

JEnsley And you call them out by their color because why?

You only have to look at the picture. That's enough to tell you why it passed. Welcome to 2019

“White” Guardian is racist!

The idea that abortion is an issue of evil white males oppressing women is a racist myth.

That's a very dumb decision in a state such as Alabama. The numbers of kids with down syndrome will rise exponentially.

It's just disgraceful

Heroes every one of them!

Neanderthals.

I am surprised that anyone would defend the killing of unborn children? If only white folk are standing up for the rights of the unborn surley they are the good guys?

Sick! I bet they voted for the death penalty I can also see them voting against gun control. I wonder how many of them are sexual predators.

Ya! Kill whitey!!! I love

JesusWasARebel2 it comes from ur abrahamic religion's ,,,all about oppression ,,,

I wonder why thought their race was important?

The GOP are abortion-providers, especially for their mistresses. Their leaders👇are perfect examples of it.... ... How many of these 'all white men' in ALGOP leadership will follow? aldemocrats DNC NARAL PPact

😂 they should ban sex!!! That be more appropriate than stoning woman in Jesus name...

How unlike to use racist and sexist headlines.

I was born in Alabama and my mom had the appointment to have me aborted. Are you saying I should not be alive today? Serious question, not a bot, would love to hear your response.

Are women unable to vote in Alabama? Perhaps there's more to consider here...

' GerakanKedaulatanRakyat ' means 'The People's sovereignty Movement in bahasa Indonesia' This movement emerged to respond to public unrest regarding the destruction of democracy in the 2019 general election

The vilest of the vile.

Nice

Who cares what color they are as long as babies are saved!!! All babies of all colors!!!

You say i as if they are not morally obligated to pursue the demands of their majority female constituents. U slant a story to conform to your acceptable beliefs. Instead, 'Conservative Christians in Alabama voted for conservative politicians who voted and defended their beliefs'

Planned Parenthood won't be happy with no organs to harvest

What does their race have to do with anything?

This is a very racist headline. Please be better. Thank you.

Just remind me where there ethnicity comes into it?

All men, majority white and Republican, decided Roe. A little consistency in your hatred would go far!

They have no understanding of what it is like to be pregnant as a result of rape and having to carry a baby a woman never wanted to full term.Doubtless all of these white men believe they are doing God's will and the mother's right to choose is irrelevant

Leave it to a white men to stick up for helpless children. The nerve of those SOBs

God fearing America. They just live in another century 😖

Took 25 white men to take a stand for all the black women babies that get sliced and diced

What has the color of their skin got to do with anything? Is 'White' some kind of insult in Guardianland? ProLife Alabama Republican

Will They provide freehealthcare for the children when They are born HealthCareForAll

Racism alive and well at the guardian!

Great!

So you're okay with black children being 40% of those aborted in Alabama, despite being only 7% of the population? If these legislators are racist, they're pretty bad at it. The Guardian, on the other hand, seems to want blood on its hands.

Deeply racist. Why do white men get to be the hero here?

And I give thanks to God for them.

I'm curious as to why you people are so desperate for a race war? Who the heck cares if they were white, black, brown, or anywhere in between? All that matters is they took a stance to protect the lives of those sweet unborn babies and I applaud them for that babylivesmatter

And this white woman sponsored the bill. Your point?

LOL, nice unbiased 'reporting,' Guardian. 'These 25 WHITE MEN...'

The Guardian is racist

A shining endorsement to vote for white men

This is racist ...

Excellent; well done Alabama. Watch and learn, Guardian:

And soon you’ll have a female governor signing the bill into law :)

Race is irrelevant except when it isn’t.

If only there was a hell, they could all go there and screw themselves.

I’m glad they are standing up for women. Men who are for abortion are creepy.....or just don’t want the responsibility of caring for their babies so they would rather them murdered.

I get that their gender is relevant, but why is their race mentioned?

Shows you how 'racist' and 'immoral' they are. Black women abort babies at a higher rate than white women. Abortion is murder, period.

It's ridiculous, but what has their colour got to do with it Guardian? casualracism

You forgot to mention these people, also men, who legislated it in the first place. Well done on your blatant sexism and racism though.

A much larger % of black babies are being aborted in Alabama than white so why make it into a male white-privilege thing ? Not wanting to kill black babies is a good thing, right?

Happy for white men to rescue all the babies at risk- who tend to be black by a mile. Well done - you have proved to be Sanger's progeny.

Who ironically should have been aborted...

Black women make up 60% of women getting abortion in alabama - source: ( So thanks to the votes of these White Republican Men, hopefully more Black babies (and others) will end up being able to be born & live instead of being killed through abortion!

Yes. They all voted for LIFE.

What does race have to do with abortion?

25 People Did the Right Thing

Their punishment should be artificial insemination.

As if there are no women anywhere who supported the bill. How dare these men have their say. The fact that they're probably husbands & fathers clearly hasn't crossed anyone's mind.

Breaking News: conservative politicians believe in conservative values.

These men should be applauded not condemned...a life is a life no matter how it was conceived...I know a few who have regretted having a abortion some never get over it. .

Older grouchy men who have no knowledge of women’s medical needs have ABSOLUTELY no Business deciding our health care! That’s between a Dr and patient each person has different medical needs this can’t be decided in government! I’m against abortion just not this way! Wake up AL.

Are you expressing racism towards white men?

Alabama is at least 50% women and racially diverse. They are more than welcome to run for office and/or vote for the greater good. Those old white men do that crap because we let them.

How is their race relevant? Are you suggesting white men are supporters of rape, incest and anti abortion, whereas men of other races are not?

Wow they are all men who know exactly what women suffer through during pregnancy!!! So great!! Im so glad that these men thought it would be beneficial to strip women of their reproductive rights!! Especially since they know exactly what it’s like!!

Next topic is to bring back lynching. Sweet Home Alabama...where the sky is blue and women and girls can be raped and forced to live with the consequences more than ever before. Just remember a southern man don’t need you around anyhow.

Well done! Someone needs to protect the lives of babies👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Female choice has become the one of the leading causes of death in the country.

And thank God for them! But, really, what does race or gender have to do with this? Are white men incapable of rationale thought? Is it so hard to believe that you needn't necessarily be capable of becoming pregnant to understand pregnancy? Nice try, false narrative.

Guardian is angry now 🤣🤣🤣

AslanAli103 That’s fabulous! Go nationwide! ✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻

It’s dangerous to emphasise race as a factor in behaviour except when it isn’t.

The legislation was created by a woman, and these men are doing what their constituents want which is how representative government works.

All or nothing gets people nowhere, just angry and reactionary.Abortion is the killing of innocent life but at what stage?There should have been a ‘get out of motherhood’ clause somewhere in this.

Who knew was racist.

MissTie 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮

I'm glad that 25 white men want to protect life at it's most vulnerable moment. Kudos to them! AdoptionAbortion

White men fighting 4the rights of black women and their babies to live and be supported - how awful🤭 Read the stats: Listen to the voice of obianuju on “the woman’s choice” Listen to the black women and stop pretending you care about them! EndAbortion

Great news. No more murders.

LeiCasans Representative democracy? Nope.

What does skin color have anything to do with it.? So white men are saving black babies lives ?

saving majority black babies? race seems irrelevant.

They are disgusting

None of the 25 criminals will get a vasectomy. None voted to increase child and family services budgets.

1 down 48 to go. (California is not a state it's an asylum)

Along with 26 women. So, report the true story and voter description.

Spend time, energy, money teaching teenagers and immigrants about birth control and the abortion debate will slowly disappear. PlannedParenthood AbortionRights AbortionDebate

DisavowTrump20 That's ok, let them idiots do what they do cause they just gave a boost to make their state more black and brown

Im sure they are very aware that with legal abortion they would not be here.

imagine all the inbred babies that are gonna keep popping up there, lol

Women have to start running for political positions... TinaLFletcher

Are you good old boys going to help raise these babies? See to their care? Give them welfare checks for 18 years? Pay for their education? What about therapy because their parents didn’t want them, and can’t love them, or raise them to be decent.

And they were all voted in by Alabama citizens. Their state, they decide. Again, I think it goes too far, but so does infantacide - that changed a lot of minds on abortion.

DisavowTrump20 i can see a show of hands who are surprised.

And they all look the same: 25 sadistic assholes who hate women.

What the hell is wrong with these people? I'm thinking...they are ones doing these types of crimes....yup...

'white men' the fuck does their color gotta do with anything

YEAH, THEY'RE ALL HEROES

What does race have to do with anything? You’re racist

murder fixed

Proud that men are willing to protect those that can't protect themselves.

What we need is an army of Lorena Bobbitts.

Old white men syndrome!

Pathetic

GovernorKayIvey may your decision reflect the collective VOICE of WOMEN in Alabama and NOT a select group of MEN politicking to silence it

What's the problem with their skin tone Seriously you are laughable

A symptom of swing voting and women abusing what should be the most solemn thing they ever do! Using abortion as contraception is vile, especially 20 weeks plus and this is a backlash. In 2019 how can women be so stupid as to get pregnant? Abortion should be special circumstances

So what you're saying is, it's only white men who care about the lives of babies?

'white men'

“But ALL unwanted pregnancies are caused by the irresponsible ejaculations of men. Period. Don’t believe me? Let me walk you through it.”

You will have street abortionist coming soon

The very definition of the official 'Good Old Boy Network.' Got to take back woman's suffrage and social progress. Can't have all those free spirits thinking and acting for themselves, after all. And what's all this Separation of Church and State stuff? Forward to the past!

If the exception is the 'serious health of a woman' how could carrying your rapist's child not be a serious health threat to a woman? How could back alley abortion not be a threat to the health of a woman? Think again, Alabama.

And NOT ONE OF THEM WILL EVER HAVE TO CARRY A CHILD CONCEIVED THROUGH RAPE. NOT ONE.

Each of these 25 men needs to be investigated immediately. Only a RAPIST or RAPIST SYMPATHIZER would FORCE VICTIMS of rape to remain pregnant.

Once again, the poorest of the poor get shat upon. WTG, Alabama

Hey Alabama, I bet you have some well-spoken women who are willing to represent the interests of women in the state legislature in 2020.

How backward are they, these are enlightened times we are in, why go backwards for women, those dark days were & are gruesome. Shame on them😡Alabama AbortionIsNotACrime WomensRightsAreHumanRights WomensRights

Dark ages have a face , and the face are white nationalists and they look like Neanderthals trolls toke over ..oh wait they were always been Neanderthals wiling to stay proudly Neanderthals

C*nts

Welcome to Gilead.

That's all they have is 25 white men? LEARN

25 heroes! Standing up for the most vulnerable lives!

Bringing up the race card again? Racist publication.

You can bet your house on the fact they are all in the god squad 😡 how very dare they!

All these Republican White men who voted to ban abortion. Do not let them inside your uterus.. Let them all Master-bate.

Man with the sausage decides for the one who has been raped with a different sausage!!

I would like to see their moths when the woman or the daughter of them is rushed

They were wrong to do it but why does it matter if they were white Racist Guardian

They've voted to save babies lives, they've done something to be proud of.

This is one step removed from forcing victims of rape to marry their rapist which really only happens in “shithole countries.”

LOL Awesome!

alabamahateswomen all these men are guilty of suppressing WomensRights BoycottAlabama

'The priests and the politicians have to disappear from the earth...' 'The politicians and the priests have been constantly in conspiracy, working together, hand in hand.' (book available)

Alabama ranks 48th in poverty, 50th in education and 46th in healthcare and 1 in 3 Alabamians under 65 live with a pre-existing condition, yet this is what Alabama’s legislators are focused on. Obviously, these 25 men are a product of the substandard education Alabama offers.

Now we know what the .GOP meant when they said they wanted small government...small enough to fit inside a uterus

What’s that say about the morals of white men ?

Good! Abortion is MURDER and NEVER good for the MOTHER medically speaking.

Why specify sex and more importantly skin colour?

As if we needed any more proof that white men suck

We can call them assholes because they are but what about the females that stood by and let this happen?

Vs. U.S. Supreme Court of Roe v. Wade: 8 white, 1 black. 5 Democrats, 4 Republicans. All men.

Guardian, could you do a big piece on the almost identical situation in Northern Ireland? I think the majority of people in the UK don’t realise we have this in our own country. All4Choice

So... 25 MEN making a decision for WOMEN about WOMEN health/body without any WOMAN involved? Where’s the FEMINIST Activists when they are needed MOST? BoycottAlabama

Piss on the GOP

Experts on women and pregnancy then.

This is terrifying

Lets hope non of their children ever need one coz they are a victim of the horrible crime they also excluded!!!

They disgust me.

Compared to the diversity of the U.S. Supreme Court of Roe v. Wade: 8 white, 1 black. 5 Democrats, 4 Republicans. All men.

And it's a fair bet that if you tried to explain ANY aspect of women's health to these men who have power over women's health, you'd sicken and disgust them. Only in politics & management are you allowed to have authority over something you neither know, nor want to know, about.

Interesting headline. Did no one else vote along with them?

Hold my beer

How can they decide on something that doesn't affect them at all?

This is so ridiculous it disgusts me

Dickspeakers - ones who speak for DICKS.

Nice

Nice
