I think you're absolutely right about this.
I hope I don't come across as being critical of the Indiana legislature over this. It's a great law to pass -- but mainly for political reasons, not legitimate moral/ethical reasons that would stand up under close legal scrutiny.
From the womb of G-d to the mother’s womb, the child sleeps until it is time to emerge and find the dream G-d laid before it.
But the true effect of laws is much less important to Social Justice Warriors than is signalling your virtue. Whoever came up with this law is clever, because they're trying to place the SJW's in a public moral dilemna. Either they stand in favor or abortion on demand, or they oppose abortions that target female babies. They can't do both.
If ever there is scientific “proof” of a gay/trans genetic disposition, you can bet that abortion will be outlawed in cases where it’s determined.
Since Congress is not empowered to legislate abortion why is the Supreme Court involved in State abortion law?
10th Amendment to the United States Constitution

‘People would agree with aborting a child because it is not the sex they wanted’
Leftists do not care. Leftists are all about the adults who want autonomy over their bodies. Try pointing out that a child in the womb is fully formed at 12 weeks gestation.....they just grow from then on. Leftists DON’T CARE. IT IS ALL, ALWAYS and FOREVER ABOUT ME!!!
“And what my friend’s father had said made perfectly good sense to me.”
It always made sense until “feminism” came along. Now women say they are discriminated against if they are not ALLOWED to become fighter pilots or combat Marines etc. yet they are not required to register for the draft even though men still are. If women want “equality” they must accept that some of that equality is not going to be very desirable and it must apply to ALL women, there is no world in which some women are equal but some are not and some will be wishing to have their INequality back. We either need to stop requiring men to register and proclaim that no one will ever be drafted again or we need to require both sexes to register.
Talk about twisting logic! What makes the “fetus” unrecognizable as a person? The abortion? If a pregnant woman is murdered, there is an additional charge for killing the “fetus”. Under that logic, then the answer is yes. Following that thinking, then the mother is the sole determinant of a the fetus’ status? What if the woman was murdered on her way to the abortion clinic? What if she had talked to a friend about the possibility of aborting the “fetus”? This is ridiculous. They can’t have it both ways but they’re trying to because we all know the real answer is that “fetus” is a baby.....a unborn person.
What is needed is for a couple to present their “23&Me” DNA results, showing that both parents have a high incidence of African genetic material that is passed to their child.
They should publicly state that they are considering abortion because the fetus cold be considered “black”.
If women want “equality” they must accept that some of that equality is not going to be very desirable and it must apply to ALL women.

I agree and that’s why I think that, if they’re going to insist on murdering unborn babies, that the OTHER parent (i.e., father) has EQUAL say.
“the law does not recognize that an aborted fetus is a person.”
Well, it’s dead after you abort it...
How about before?
Years ago in a college class on ethics, the professor posed the question:
Suppose a woman got pregnant 7 times, and experienced 7 miscarriages.
She gets pregnant an 8th time— should she have an abortion?
The class answered unanimously: Yes!
Professor: Congratulations. You just aborted Ludwig Van Beethoven.
Sex-selective abortion is common in China.
In fact, under Mao’s population control dictate, abortion was mandatory. Couples were only allowed to have 1 child.
Since boys were preferred, it’s long been common to abort girls.
This preference for male offspring was a throwback to the time when girl babies were often left in the wilderness to die.
I believe the mandatory abortion rules have been relaxed in the last few years.
The Supreme Court said nothing of the sort. They simply declined to accept the case because the issue wasn’t “ripe”. They do this all the time for various reasons. The misleading headline does nothing to advance the cause of life.
And the class said “who”? /s
If females are disproportionately aborted, would that be enough to get females to start rejecting the idea?
“We either need to stop requiring men to register and proclaim that no one will ever be drafted again or we need to require both sexes to register”
That’ one solution. Mine would still be what it was:
Men fight wars and women have babies.
Simple, sane, and natural.
I would totally agree with you, my comment was meant to say what we need to do if women still keep moaning about “equality” when they, in fact, have the upper hand already.
The prayer was for Christians in general. If the CHURCH had stood for life instead of cowering, unlimited abortions would have never happened.
Do you think the fetus would also die before you got around to murdering the husband or after?
