legislature: It includes only an exception for cases where a woman's health is at serious risk, according to MSNBC. The Republican-controlled legislature that passed the bill rejected a proposal to add exceptions for cases of incest and rape. The controversial law, set to go into effect in January 2020, bans nearly all abortion in the state. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey said in a statement shortly after signing the bill that it stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians' deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God. But local leaders say that a boycott will only further victimize Alabamians and instead encourage activists to join them in fighting against the policy. That is not the view of many abortion rights activists and government officials who are now calling for economic retaliation in response to the law's passage.
