Senator Claims Abortion Activist Threatened to ‘Rape’ His Wife over Alabama Abortion Ban

By Life Site News. The family Republican state senator who vocally supported Alabama’s new law banning almost all abortions says his family has had to endure online threats of violence from pro-abortion advocates outraged by the law, including threats that they were going to break into his house and rape his wife.

Earlier this month, Alabama Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, which criminalizes abortion for any reason other than to “avert (a mother’s) death or to avert serious risk of substantial physical impairment of a major bodily function,” or “if a second physician who is licensed in Alabama as a psychiatrist” diagnoses a “serious mental illness” with a “reasonable medical judgment that she will engage in conduct that could result in her death or the death of her unborn child.” . . .

Over the weekend, Gudger appeared on Alabama Public Television to discuss the fallout from the vote, Breitbart reports, revealing in the process the toll it’s taken on his family.

“It’s been tough dealing with the balancing of my wife and my children being attacked,” Gudger told host Don Dailey. “I obviously don’t like that part. No one should be attacked or threatened with harm for a difference of opinion. But overall, I’m doing well, besides that.” He elaborated that “people have contacted my 15-year-old son on Snapchat and social media,” while “my wife had been contacted that they were going to break into our house and rape and do other things to her.” (Read more from “Senator Claims Abortion Activist Threatened to ‘Rape’ His Wife over Abortion Ban” HERE)

Louisiana Lawmakers Approve Strict Abortion Limit, Dem. Governor Says He Will Sign It

By NPR. The Louisiana House approved a strict new abortion law barring the procedure once a heartbeat is detectable, a point before many women may realize they are pregnant.

By a vote of 79-23, the lawmakers banned abortions as early as six weeks of pregnancy. Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards said in a statement that he “ran for governor as a pro-life candidate,” and intended to sign the abortion ban.

“As I prepare to sign this bill, I call on the overwhelming bipartisan majority of legislators who voted for it to join me in continuing to build a better Louisiana that cares for the least among us and provides more opportunity for everyone,” he said.

More than a dozen Democratic lawmakers approved the bill, along with all of the Republicans. (Read more from “Louisiana Lawmakers Approve Strict Abortion Limit, Dem. Governor Says He Will Sign It” HERE)
