Alabama's Senate Just Passed a Near-Total Ban on Abortion
阿拉巴马州参议院近期通过禁止堕胎法案
(MONTGOMERY, Ala.) — Alabama’s Senate passed a near-total ban on abortion Tuesday, sending what would be the nation’s most stringent abortion ban to the state’s Republican governor.
周二，阿拉巴马州参议院通过了一项几乎完全禁止堕胎的法案，该法案将成为美国最严格的堕胎禁令，提交给了该州的共和党州长。
The Republican-dominated Alabama Senate voted 25-6 for the bill that would make performing an abortion at any stage of pregnancy a felony punishable by up to 99 years or life in prison. The only exception would be when the woman’s health is at serious risk.
由共和党主导的阿拉巴马州参议院以25票赞成、6票反对的结果通过了这项法案。该法案规定，在怀孕的任何阶段进行堕胎都是可判处99年以下有期徒刑的重罪。 唯一的例外是当妇女的健康受到严重威胁时。
The measure now goes to Republican Gov. Kay Ivey who will decide whether to sign into law. She has not publicly said whether she supports the measure.
这项议案现在由共和党州长凯 · 艾维提出，他将决定是否签署成为法律。 她没有公开表示是否支持这项措施。
Supporters said the bill is intentionally designed to conflict with the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationally, because they hope to spark a court case that might prompt the justices to revisit abortion rights.
支持者说，这项法案的目的是有意与美国最高法院1973年具有里程碑意义的罗诉韦德案决定在全国范围内使堕胎合法化发生冲突，因为他们希望引发一个法庭案件，可能促使法官重新审视堕胎权。
San Francisco is first US city to ban facial recognition
旧金山是美国第一个禁止面部识别的城市
Legislators in San Francisco have voted to ban the use of facial recognition, the first US city to do so.
旧金山的立法者投票禁止使用面部识别系统，这是美国第一个这样做的城市。
The emerging technology will not be allowed to be used by local agencies, such as the city’s transport authority, or law enforcement.
这项新兴技术将不允许当地机构使用，比如该市的交通管理部门或执法部门。
Additionally, any plans to buy any kind of new surveillance technology must now be approved by city administrators.
此外，任何购买新型监控技术的计划现在都必须得到市政府官员的批准。
Opponents of the measure said it will put people’s safety at risk and hinder efforts to fight crime.
反对这项措施的人说，这将使人民的安全处于危险之中，并阻碍打击犯罪的努力。
Those in favour of the move said the technology as it exists today is unreliable, and represented an unnecessary infringement on people’s privacy and liberty.
那些支持此举的人说，现有的技术是不可靠的，代表了对人们隐私和自由的不必要的侵犯。
In particular, opponents argued the systems are error prone, particularly when dealing with women or people with darker skin.
特别是，反对者认为该系统容易出错，尤其是在处理女性或深色皮肤的人时。
