It passed 7 - 2. Wasn't even close. This is not surprising or controversial for Alabama.
From [1]:
Alabama’s Amendment 2, which passed with 61% of votes, amends the state’s Constitution “to declare and otherwise affirm that it is the public policy of the state to recognize and support the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children … and to provide that the constitution of this state does not protect the right to abortion or require the funding of abortion.”
From [2]:
Mitchell said the court had previously ruled that fetuses killed while a woman is pregnant are covered under Alabama's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act and nothing excludes "extrauterine children from the Act's coverage."
