LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) The legal fight is on in the state of Indiana over Gov. Mike Pences new abortion law.
The law doesnt take effect until July 1, but the ACLU and Planned Parenthood of Kentucky and Indiana are doing what they can to ensure the law never makes it to that date.
The most alarming and upsetting aspects of 1337 is that intrusion into the relationship between a woman and her doctor, ACLU Executive Director Jane Henegar said. Imposing, inserting politicians into that conversation erodes that trust.
The new law prohibits doctors from knowingly terminating a pregnancy because of the babys sex, race, ancestry or genetic disabilities such as Down syndrome.
This is comprehensive pro-life legislation that expands the information that expectant mothers received, said Pence. And also provides additional protections for the unborn.
Henegar said the law is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment.
Because repeatedly the U.S. Supreme Court has said that a woman may get an abortion within the first trimester for whatever reasons she deems best, based on her circumstances, said Henegar. That conversation isnt going on now.
I was pleased to sign it, said Pence.
ACLU is going up against the state and suing on behalf of Planned Parenthood.
Henegar said the law is intended to make it difficult, if not impossible, for women to have abortions.
It doesnt make their lives any better, said Henegar. Its just a way of ultimately prohibiting a womens access to a safe legal abortion.
Jane Henegar said the ACLU is waiting to hear back on a date for a preliminary injunction.
She said the judge knows this law is to take effect July 1, so there is a very clear timeline for a decision.
The law will not go into full effect until the court can have a full hearing.
Nothing in the Constitution about “doctor-patient confidentiality.”
The ACLU and their filth at work again.
Did the ACLU ever jump in to protect an unborn?
When is Ms. Pence going to cave?
"Because repeatedly the U.S. Supreme Court has said that a woman may get an abortion within the first trimester for whatever reasons she deems best, based on her circumstances, said Henegar."
The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate abortion, the Founding States having made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitutions silence about things like abortion means that such issues are automatically and uniquely state power issues, not the business of the feds.
The main reason that pro-abortion, state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices got away with legalizing abortion from the bench when they decided Roe v. Wade against the states is because parents arent making sure that their children are being taught the Constitution, 10th Amendment-protected state powers versus the fictitious, constitutionally non-enumerated right to have an abortion in this case.
Also, regarding the PC right to do anything with your body that you want to, a likewise fictitious constitutional right that lawless lawmakers often use to win votes from low-information, pro-abortion citizens, please consider this. The states have historically amended the Constitution to effctively stop the consumption of alcoholic beverages as evidenced by the 18th Amendment, that amendment later repealed by the 21st Amendment.
But the ACLU is ecstatic over the notion of the government forcing doctors to report in on patients that own firearms. LEGAL firearms. Or forcing doctors to interrogate children into ratting out their legally gun owning parents.
What a bunch of leftist turds.
Butt, what about Targets queers in the wrong bathroom policy? Where is the aclu on that?
Under ObamaCare all medical records are electronic and available to the federal government for any purpose that it deems fit.

How can we fix it so that one corrupt left-wing judge can’t overthrow the will of the people?

ACLU sues Obamacare?
Justifying those liberal donation dollars - keep em coming.
