Even if the courts uphold this Alabama law, I don't see anyone being convicted of violating it. The reason is, well, jury nullification. It would be pretty hard to find a lawful jury, or even an Alabama jury, that would convict anyone. It might be even harder to find a prosecutor who would bring a case to trial, because prosecutors don't like to bring cases when they know it;s unlikely for them to get a conviction. All it takes is one juror to say "not guilty," and you have a mistrial. And prosecutors are smart enough to know this. We may get some slight restrictions on how and when abortions are performed, but abortions are not going away.
