Another reason to hate Alabama: they may cost the GOP the Senate and Presidency

first, the GOP of Alabama picks Roy fricking Moore to run for the Senate. this insane person, who also left enough crumbs to be called a pedo, led to a DEM winning the Senate seat....IN ALABAMA. the most Republican state in the US

now, the GOP of Alabama is so stupid that they put abortion back into the discussion as a primary topic for 2020. this is a call back to the pre-Trump, Bush-era GOP led by religious and insane people. it led to the marginalization of the GOP during the Obama years. avoiding abortion as an issue was a winning strategy. Alabama said "naw frick that" and voted the most extreme abortion bill outside of backwater Muslim-dominated countries

they are Roy Moore'ing all over again

in terms of politics, there are not any positives from this law

1. you bring abortion back as a major talking point and now get Trump and the GOP labeled as the most extreme form of extremists. Trump may have to publicly denounce this law (which may create its own issues with the insane people on the religious right and hurt turnout). either way it's lose-lose politically

2. you will moderate the Supreme Court. there is a 0% chance that Roberts will allow this Alabama bill to stand in an election year. your dream of overturning Roe v. Wade was more premature than Kirk in She's Out of My League. so all of this celebration about the Supreme Court being more aligned with your politics will be completely marginalized by a moderation of the court.

if you wanted to go super extreme religious fanatic, you had to wait until it's 6-3 at least. Roberts and possibly Kav won't overturn Roe on legal principles. if you want to attack abortion, the way to do it was to continue to regulate abortions so that your states don't have them. this was a subtle, winning strategy that could have been emboldened with the new court. but that's all gone now

also on a secondary level, if you lose the Senate and POTUS, you may lose the ability to nominate the RBG, Breyer, and Thomas replacements, leaving a new leftist majority for the next regime Alabama indirectly supported.

so you may lose the Senate, you may lose the Presidency, and you may lose the Supreme Court. good job, good effort.
