This bill amends existing Alabama law to authorize abortions to preserve the health of the mother or if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.

Additionally, the mother of the unborn child may petition the court to require the father to pay for the abortion and related medical expenses, although the father may be excused from payment if he undergoes a vasectomy. The bill also adds definitions for key terms such as "man" and "unborn child." The bill will become effective on October 1, 2025.
