Senator Katie Boyd Britt(@SenKatieBritt):Almost 30 percent of women in Alabama do not have a birthing hospital within 30 minutes of their homes, which is significantly higher than the national average. We must give our communities the tools they need to remedy this issue, which is why I’m proud to champion the Rural Obstetrics Readiness Act.
