Pro-Life proposal claims Governor Bentley could stop abortions in Alabama today

Pro-Life supporters gathered on the steps of Alabama’s state capitol on Saturday, April 1, to petition Governor Robert Bentley with a proposal that they said would immediately stop abortions in Alabama.

Proposal 16 says the Governor can stop abortions in Alabama and he wouldn’t need approval from the Federal government to do so. The proposal said he could stop abortions with an executive order.

Jay Hinton, an attorney and speaker at the event, explained how this is possible.
