facebook. and sudan's army and the opposition agree to a 3 year transition period to democracy a civilian government has been one of the protesters key demands after the ousting of former president omar al bashir last month. off it's good to have you with us tonight pro-choice groups in the united states are protesting after lawmakers in the state of alabama approved the country's toughest abortion law the state senate voted $25.00 to $6.00 to outlaw abortion at any point and under any circumstances including rape and incest the only exception will be if the mother's life is in danger the controversial bill will now go to the state's governor to be signed into law all. i. and

motions were running high both outside the alabama legislature with pro abortion activists rallying against the bill and inside the state senate where lawmakers in gauged in fierce debate. why you all want to control our bodies our will never ever know. and i know that many of you have daughters mr wagner conservative legislators say this is about more than the law in alabama they want to see abortion banned and why and so the focus of this bill certainly is on the child will make its way hopefully up to the supreme court where we can revisit the way and place a wall places in jurisprudence of the united states understanding that science and technology has been clear about that there is in fact a life in the womb that life ought to be protected the alabama bill bans abortions at every stage of pregnancy unless

a woman's life is in danger an amendment to allow exceptions in cases of rape and incest was voted down by doctors who perform the procedure could face up to 1009 years in prison it's the latest in a wave of attempts by states to impose new abortion restrictions last week georgia governor brian kemp followed kentucky mississippi and ohio in signing a bill that criminalizes abortions performed after 6 weeks with republicans in control of most state legislatures and in increasingly conservative judiciary pro-choice activists face an uphill battle to maintain abortion rights one nearly 50 years ago. this is the president is times in the united states let's go now to washington bureau chief alexander phenomena she's following the story for us good evening to you alexandra i mean you have been talking to pro wife campaigners amid this law in alabama is in direct violation of federal law how are they justified. well

there are saying that they strongly believe that life begins and cuts at conception and that this life the life of an unborn baby has to be protected and they say that even it is considered a constitutional right for a woman to have an abortion they believe that an abortion is murder and for there are convinced doctors performing this procedure have to be charged with felony and that even the women who wants to have an abortion have to be prosecuted so that's their position and now they are hoping and seeing this bill and alabama as a huge win for their position hoping that that eventually the supreme court has to deal with that and that the supreme court eventually will overturn the law and tomorrow karole v wade decision that made abortion across the united states' legal oh xander. alabama soon to the 4 women the 4

female senators all voted against this all of the senators who voted for it were minute it now goes to the governor of alabama who is a woman will she saw in this bill into law. well she's a woman that's true but she's also known as a very conservative republican she's been known as a. outspoken supporter for the off the pro-life movement she has said that she wants to see the final version of the bill and then she will decide however she is likely to sign this bill into law but we have to say that even then it is unlikely that this legislation will become a play couple because human rights activist activist groups have already announced that they are going to challenge this legislation in the courts and we heard today from the sponsors of this legislation to end it for it to trigger

a legal battle that will go all the way to the supreme court to overturn roe v wade can it succeed. that's certainly what they hope for they feel emboldened by the president president strums anti-abortion agenda by the fact that he has appointed to a very conservative judges at the supreme court were to cover not if one of them in he pos writings before being appointed he suggested that he would permit the governments to more strictly regulated regulate abortion so the pro-life activists are hoping that this conservative majority of the supreme court will play to their advantage however we have to say that remains to be seen whether the supreme court is going to take this case and how the justices are going to decide it alexander phenomenon the story forced to not only center thank you. as to june's with
