Indiana abortion bill is the fairest yet
< < Go Back
In a matter of two days, state abortion actions have gotten press coverage. The Kansas referendum to remove a constitutional amendment allowing abortions went down in flames. And, then the next day, a new abortion ban was signed by the Governor of Indiana.
Peggy Noonan gave a balanced view of the Kansas result in the following article. What Pro-Lifers Should Learn From Kansas. She said, they asked for too much because they failed to prepare for the debate over abortion after Roe v. Wade.
The Indiana ban did a little better. It banned abortion with specific exceptions, the life of the mother, major problems with the fetus, rape and incest. These have been legitimate complaints by pro-choise advocates. Other complaints like ‘forced birth’, ‘ectopic pregnancies’, and “women’s healthcare’ are all political narratives, not meaningful issues within the abortion debate.
