Democracy Now!: Under Alabama's new law that effectively bans all abortions, even in cases of rape and incest, doctors found guilty of providing abortions could face life in prison. Dr. Yashica Robinson, one of the only remaining abortion providers in the state, calls the possibility that physicians could be incarcerated, in some cases for longer periods than perpetrators of sexual assault, "simply appalling." She says, "There is no physician that would want to have to choose between their own freedom and doing what is best for the patient."
