Republican lawmakers continue to advance anti-abortion bills in several states. On Tuesday, the Alabama state Senate approved a measure forcing clinics to have a state-licensed physician present at every abortion. Such doctors would also have to obtain admitting privileges at a local hospital, a step that can be impossible for abortion providers. Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley is expected to sign the bill after it is reconciled with the state House version approved earlier in the year. A similar effort in Mississippi is threatening the closure of the state’s lone abortion clinic. The Indiana House, meanwhile, has approved a bill forcing clinics that provide the abortion pill to have full surgical facilities on hand. If enacted, Planned Parenthood says the measure would halt abortions at its clinic in the town of Lafayette. The measures follow recent laws in North Dakota and Arkansas banning abortion well before the constitutional right of 24 weeks.
