Democratic governor candidate Yolanda Flowers backed by Democrats for Life

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% :Flowers affirmed to APR last week that she is "pro-whole-life" but was less clear about exactly how she would address abortion from a legal standpoint if elected as governor.
45% : The Democratic Party platform emphasizes a right to safe and legal abortion for all women and generally opposes restrictions on abortion.
37% : Sanders-Fortier does not mention abortion on her campaign website and did not respond to efforts to reach her for comment on this story.
37% :Abortion has always been a hot-button issue but it has risen to the top of the conversation after Politico leaked a draft opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court that shows intent to overturn the longstanding precedent establishing a Constitutional right to abortion.
34% : It appears the next governor of Alabama is poised to take office at a time when abortion is completely illegal in the state, as the Supreme Court is expected to overturn Roe v. Wade within the month and Alabama's 2019 law would likely go into effect.
