Alabama's state Senate passed a bill on Tuesday effectively banning abortion statewide, and the women running for president in 2020 wasted no time in condemning it.

Responses to the bill, which, if signed by Gov. Kay Ivey (R), would make it a felony to perform or receive an abortion, started as simple as Sen. Amy Klobuchar's (D-Minn.) tweeted declaration that "this is wrong" and "unconstitutional." Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) pointed out that "the bill's authors want to use it to overturn Roe v. Wade," and tweeted that "we will fight this."
