MONTGOMERY, AL – The Senate Health Committee of the Alabama Legislature yesterday approved a bill that threatens to close women’s health centers in the state. Health centers providing abortion care currently comply with strict state and federal requirements, but HB 57 would force health centers providing safe and legal abortion care to either comply with unnecessary, stringent new standards that may be impossible to meet -- or close.
