Indiana bill would make abortion illegal

Oh, Indiana. Wasn’t it enough to try to keep unmarried women from having babies?

A bill filed this week
in the Indiana House would make abortion illegal–even for victims of rape and incest. How lovely.
House Bill 1096, proposed by Rep. Troy A. Woodruff, would only allow for abortion if a woman’s health or life would be “permanently impaired.” The bill would make it a felony to perform any other abortions; doctors who did could face up to eight years in prison.
Here’s Woodruff’s contact info, if you’re so inclined.
