Reaction to Baxley's ruling

Some of it seems a little over the top. From the Mobile Register's "Political Skinny:"

After the flap over Rep. Spencer Collier's unborn victims bill, Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley got a good taste of how election-year angling affects legislative maneuverings.

Within hours of her ruling on Collier's bill, House Minority Leader Mike Hubbard, R-Auburn, distributed news releases denouncing the lieutenant governor for siding with "liberal groups" such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Organization for Women, which Hubbard decried as "out of the mainstream" in Alabama.

State Christian Coalition President John Giles also released a prepared statement, saying, "Baxley's ruling was incorrect, inaccurate and was an exaggerated stretch at best. ... The Senate Democrat leadership must take full responsibility for every unborn child murdered in this state without the protection of this bill."
