Conservative lawmakers in
Alabama last year tried to enact the nation's most stringent
abortion ban, but the attempt to outlaw the procedure may have had one ironic twist.
An Alabama-based abortion rights group used a flood of donations that poured in from across the country after the ban to purchase the state’s busiest abortion clinic to ensure it stays open.
Yellowhammer Fund — a group founded to help low-income
Women access abortion — announced the purchase of West Alabama Women’s Center on Friday, the one-year anniversary of the passage of the Alabama ban.
