Abortion Legislation Update
The Indiana Senate will meet for a rare Saturday vote tomorrow at 11 am. The bill they are voting on is Senate Bill 1 – the abortion bill.
Yesterday, the Senate ran well past midnight dealing with 62 amendments that had been filed creating hours of heated debate on the left and right and the mushy middle, which may have been the most nauseating. There were many Senators who did an outstanding job bringing the issue back to what abortion is – the termination of a child.
As you know, this legislation has a whole lot of holes. However, one positive development was the addition of an amendment by Sen. Aaron Freeman giving the Indiana Attorney General power to enforce this law over the heads of county prosecutors who won’t do their job.
The question before pro-life Senators, who make up a modest majority in the Indiana Senate, is how many problems can they overlook and still vote for?
Here is what National Right to Life put out today:
“SB 1 was drafted without consultation from any state, local or national pro-life group or expert. Instead, SB 1 was drafted with the advice from organizations and experts who have made abortion on demand part of their mission.
SB 1 contains vague language and ill-defined terms which would actually protect abortion instead of protecting unborn children. SB 1 also would undermine existing protections for unborn children with disabilities.
The pro-life movement calls upon pro-life legislators in the Indiana legislature to reject this travesty of a bill.”
Whether SB 1 passes or fails tomorrow, is unknown. Either way, it will be up to the House to write a good pro-life bill, as a modified SB 1 or (if SB 1 dies) a new House Bill drafted completely differently from the ground up.
(A whole new House bill may be the better option at this point according to my conversation with NRTL’s attorney.
URGENT ALERT
Protect Freedom of Religion, Speech & Assembly!
Radical leftists in the US Congress, with the help of 47 liberal Republicans, have passed an unnecessary bill in the House. It is a serious threat to religious freedom including the ability of private schools to hire people who share the school’s religious values.
The mis-named “Respect for Marriage Act” is a dangerous bill.
To be direct Indiana Senator Todd Young is a nice person whom I like personally, but he’s no social conservative when it comes to the LGTBTQIA+ Trans, woke, sexual anarchy, silence morality agenda. (He was once the keynote speaker for a homosexual demands group in DC.)
Senator Young needs to know that the Respect for Marriage Act is a threat to free speech and religious freedom.
Both Indiana Senators Todd Young & Mike Braun need to vote “no” on this bill.
