INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana's Legislature became the first in the nation Friday to pass new legislation restricting access to abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.The ban includes limited exceptions, including in cases of rape and incest, and to protect the life and physical health of the mother. The exceptions for rape and incest are limited to 10 weeks post-fertilization, meaning victims could not get an abortion in Indiana after that.
Outside the House chamber, abortion-rights activists often chanted over lawmakers' remarks, carrying signs like"Roe roe roe your vote" and"Build this wall" between church and state. Some House Democrats wore blazers over pink"Bans Off Our Bodies" T-shirts. The House also rejected, largely on party lines, a Democratic proposal to place a non-binding question on the statewide November election ballot:"Shall abortion remain legal in Indiana?"
"Ultimately it's up to the Senate," he said."Voters have an opportunity to vote, and if they're displeased, they'll have an opportunity both in November and in future years." Bauer's comments were followed by raucous cheers from protesters in the hallway and subdued applause from fellow Democrats. The debates come amid an evolving landscape of abortion politics across the country as Republicans face party divisions and Democrats see a possible election-year boost.
