The statement is a direct quote attributed to Governor Kay Ivey expressing a sentiment about victims of a crime deserving timely and compassionate care. As a statement of opinion or principle rather than a verifiable factual claim about specific events or policies, it is accurately reported as something she said, making it factually true as a quotation.

The statement attributes a quote to Kay Ivey with a date of 2026-05-03, which is in the future relative to the current date (2025-09-24), so she could not have made that statement on that date.
