Shadrack McGill, or Larry Stutts, if you want the real name, recently beat out Alabama Democrat Roger Bedford for a spot in the state's Senate. According to AL, the state thought that they knew much about the Stutts, except the fact that he was an OB-GYN, and a controversial one at that.

Fast forward a few months, and Stutts has now introduced one of his first pieces of legislation, the SB289, which would repeal a state law requiring insurers to cover hospital stays for new mothers at least 48 hours after they delivered their newborns. What's worse, it was a woman under his care.

Here's a little background about how this legislation came into existence.

It was December 1998 when a woman named Rose Church, who was a nurse from Haleyville went to a hospital named Helen Keller Hospital in Sheffield. There she delivered a healthy baby girl, but due to unfortunate circumstances, she died after a week after complications. The signs of those complications were not detected in the early hours after her delivery.

Rose Church's husband, Gene Church, then pushed for a new law in Montgomery, which was then called "Rose's Law." According to this law, the insurers were required to allow women coverage for at least 48 hours hospitalization after childbirth. The law was unanimously passed by the Alabama Legislature.

And that's the law that Stutts wanted to repeal.

Healthcare providers were completely fine with the new law as it is.

But here's the kicker, according to the Alabama Political Reporter, Gene Church hasn't just fought for the Rose's Law to pass, he also sued Stutts for malpractice. 

Stutts on his Facebook page says that "Just a few months on the job, I am proud to say that I am hard at work removing one-size-fits-all Obamacare-style laws from the books in Alabama." He further says "However, some in the media and elsewhere are attempting to deceive citizens by using tired liberal arguments and falsehoods."
