After the Alabama Senate erupted in chaos Thursday over what may become the nation’s strictest abortion ban, the state’s lieutenant governor admitted that the bill is a direct attempt to get Roe v. Wade overturned.

“It is important that we pass this statewide abortion ban legislation and begin a long overdue effort to directly challenge Roe v. Wade,” Alabama Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth (R) said in a statement Thursday.

Ainsworth also credited President Donald Trump, who recently upped his dangerous and often false anti-abortion rhetoric, with remaking the federal judiciary to achieve the overturning of the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that ensures a woman’s right to an abortion.

“Now that President Donald Trump has supercharged the effort to remake the federal court system by appointing conservative jurists who will strictly interpret the Constitution, I feel confident that the U.S. Supreme Court will overturn Roe and finally correct its 46-year-old mistake,” said the lieutenant governor, who presides over the state Senate chamber.
