Bills, bills, bills

This week, the anti-choice bills in Indiana are on a roll.
The Senate voted on Tuesday to pass a measure that would allow pharmacists to refuse to dispense emergency contraception, specifically “prescriptions that they believe will be used to induce an abortion or assist in a suicide.” Lovely how the two are conveniently placed together.
But that’s not all, folks. The Senate also voted to pass a “contentious” bill that would require state physicians to tell women seeking abortions that there is “differing medical evidence concerning when a fetus feels pain,” as well as state that “an embryo formed by the fertilization of a human ovum by a human sperm immediately begins to divide and grow as human physical life.”
Apparently the language was toned down from the original bill, which we’re SO grateful for. As long as “human physical life” and “when a fetus feels pain” is in there, they’re good to go. Fuckers.
