Indiana Republican lawmakers narrowly advanced a plan to ban nearly all abortions in the state. The committee voted 7-5, adding that doctors could face felony charges for performing an illegal abortion.
believe their state should generally allow abortion in specific cases, including if a pregnant woman’s life is endangered or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. Few think abortion should always be illegal, according to The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll.
Indiana is one of the first Republican-run state legislatures to debate tighter abortion laws following the U.S. Supreme Court decision last month overturning Roe v. Wade. The court ruling is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states. “It is totally unenforceable and as such renders it basically worthless,” Humbarger told the committee. “You can, and must, do better.”The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, which has sued over previous abortion restrictions, said the ban would endanger women.
“I’m not surprised this bill is fatally flawed, look at this composition of this committee,” Lanane said. “It’s 16 percent female ... two females are on the committee. You have a lot of men who don’t know how the female body works on pregnancy who going to legislate on this issue.” SB2 includes $45 million in the coming year toward state agencies that “support the health of pregnant women, postpartum mothers, and infants” through pregnancy planning and access to contraception, especially among low-income families.
SB3 suspends the state sales tax on utilities for six months and caps the state sales tax on gasoline at 29.5 cents for one year. Gov. Eric Holcomb had proposed a $225-per-taxpayer refund, but Indiana Republican Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray said the Senate preferred this plan.Bray said legislators were discussing details on abortion limits that they never faced before Roe v. Wade was overturned.
