Alabama's biggest newspapers dedicated their Sunday editions this week to essays by women about the state's recent abortion ban.

Over 200 essays from women were published in the papers owned by Alabama Media Group: The Birmingham News, Huntsville Times and Mobile Press-Register.

The set of essays was also featured at the top of the Alabama Media Group’s website, with the headline “Alabama women speak out.”

We asked women across the state to share their experiences and thoughts on what it's like to be a woman in Alabama today. Today, we share their stories with you.

The ban will be challenged in court, potentially setting up a challenge to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision which established a right to abortion.

All 25 votes in favor of the bill in Alabama's state Senate came from white men, sparking criticism.
