Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston told reporters that if residents are unhappy, they can vote for new lawmakers.
"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."
Democratic Rep. Maureen Bauer spoke tearfully before Friday’s vote about people in her South Bend district who oppose the bill — the husbands standing behind their wives, the fathers supporting their daughters — as well as the women "who are demanding that we are seen as equal." "You may not have thought that these women would show up," Bauer said. "Maybe you thought we wouldn’t be paying attention."
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.
