    (Read the following excerpt, then respond to the statement below)"The American Civil Liberties Union is challenging Alabama’s new abortion law in federal court, and we can understand why. The law, signed by Gov. Bentley earlier this year, limits how close abortion clinics can be to schools, kindergarten through eighth grade. The law takes effect Aug. 1. When it does, two of the state’s largest clinics, in Huntsville and Tuscaloosa, will likely have to close. Those clinics perform more than half of the abortions in Alabama each year.  If they close, a woman’s ability to have an abortion — her legal right, so says the U.S. Supreme Court — will be severely limited in Alabama. What’s more, no other state restricts abortion clinics’ proximity to public schools."The writer is opposed to abortion clinics being in close proximity to schools. (TRUE OR FALSE?)

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False
