In 2015,Stutts introduced a bill to repeal two laws,the first relating to notifying patients of dense breast tissue following a mammogram and the second requiring insurance companies to provide mandatory minimum hospitalization time following a woman giving birth,48 hours for vaginal delivery and 96 hours for cesarean section. [4] This second law,commonly referred to as Rose's Law,was unanimously passed by the Alabama Legislature following the 1998 death of Rose Church ten days after she had given birth while attended by Stutts. [5] The attempted appeal of Rose's Law made national news following disclosure that Church had been Stutts' patient at the time of her death. [6] Stutts withdrew the bill from consideration,stating "neither the bill nor today's decision is related to any patient case I have had during my medical career." [7]

A six-week abortion ban,also called a "fetal heartbeat bill" by proponents,is a law in the United States which makes abortion illegal as early as six weeks gestational age,which is when proponents claim that a "fetal heartbeat" can be detected. Medical and reproductive health experts,including the American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,say that the reference to a fetal heartbeat is medically inaccurate and misleading because a conceptus is not called a fetus until eight weeks after fertilization,as well as that at four weeks after fertilization,the embryo has no heart,only a group of cells which will become a heart. Medical professionals advise that a true fetal heartbeat cannot be detected until around 17 to 20 weeks of gestation when the chambers of the heart have become sufficiently developed.
