Alabama Lawmakers Pass Bill to Regulate Abortion Clinics Like Sex Offenders
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alabama Governor Robert Bentley is expected to sign into law a measure
banning abortion clinics from operating within 2,000 feet of a K-8
public school. It's the same rule applied to sex offenders in Alabama.
The law would force at least two clinics in Alabama to close. The
Alabama Women's Center in Hunstville, Alabama, is located across from a
school: It was forced to move there to comply with the state's sweeping
anti-choice restrictions.
