Indiana's senate voted Saturday to pass a near-total ban on abortion. Here's how every member voted.
IndyStar Statehouse reporter Kaitlin Lange explains the proposed abortion ban and other details about special session beginning July 25.A majority of Senate Republicans supported the controversial measure, despite concerns from some that it doesn't go far enough to restrict abortion, and others that it doesn't go far enough to protect abortion rights, to pass the bill 26-20.
Earlier in the week, 18 Republicans voted in favor of stripping exceptions for rape and incest − an effort that ultimately failed. Saturday's vote puts Indiana on track to be one of the first states in the nation to pass new abortion restrictions after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that had protected women's right to an abortion.
As passed, Senate Bill 1 bans all abortion except in cases of rape, incest or when the pregnant person's life is at risk. Exceptions for rape and increase only apply within the first 12 weeks for girls age 15 or younger and the first eight weeks for pregnant girls and women age 16 or older.Here's how every member of the Indiana State Senate voted on SB 1:
