BREAKING: Indiana has become the first state in the nation to pass an abortion ban since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Indiana has become the first state in the nation to pass new legislation restricting access to abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in June thatThe Indiana Legislature on Friday approved the near-total abortion ban with some exceptions, including in cases of rape, incest, and to protect the life and physical health of the mother.Indiana was among the first Republican-run state legislatures toThe Senate approved the near-total ban 28-19, hours after House members advanced it 62-38.
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?"a measure that would have allowed the state's Republican-controlled Legislature to tighten abortion in the first test of voters' feelings about the issue since Roe was overturned.
Indiana's proposed ban also came after the political firestorm over a 10-year-old rape victim who traveled to the state from neighboring Ohio to end her pregnancy. The case gained attention when an Indianapolis doctor said the child came to Indiana because of Ohio's"fetal heartbeat" ban. "You may not have thought that these women would show up," Bauer said."Maybe you thought we wouldn't be paying attention."
