ndiana's legislature became the first in the nation on Friday to pass new legislation restricting access to abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Other states have already banned abortion, thanks to pre-existing 'trigger laws' that went into effect when Roe was repealed, but Indiana is the first to usher in a new law.
The measure now goes to Republican Governor Eric Holcomb, who has not indicated whether he will sign it.
The ban includes limited exceptions, including in cases of rape and incest, and to protect the life and physical health of the mother.
The exceptions for rape and incest are limited to 10 weeks post-fertilization, meaning victims could not get an abortion in Indiana after that.
Victims would not be required to sign a notarized affidavit attesting to an attack.
Indiana was among the earliest Republican-run state legislatures to debate tighter abortion laws after the Supreme Court ruling on June 24 that removed constitutional protections for the procedure.
It is the first state to pass a ban through both chambers, after West Virginia lawmakers on July 29 passed up the chance to be that state.
The debates come amid an evolving landscape of abortion politics across the country as Republicans face some party divisions and Democrats see a possible election-year boost.
The Indiana Senate approved the near-total ban 28-19, hours after House members advanced it 62-38.

This is how it's done
If the fetus you save is gay, will you continue to protect its rights?Well, since the woman in question is protesting for abortion “rights”, she would have this fetus aborted, yes?
Would you settle for a hundred Amens? 😀🤪😆
Amen.
AMEN
Dear Lord,
Please, bless these states beyond measure. Show that You bless those who respect life and bring judgment on those who destroy it.
Amen.
Amen and GLAD TO HEAR IT!!!
We still manage to KILL about 32 Never_To_Be_Hoosiers every day.
Every WORKING day, that is.
If the killing happens on the weekend, the daily toll would be 23.

Tony Katz (WIBC 93.1 FM) has been raking him over the coals in his morning show.
We will see next week I guess.
This is good, but Indiana pro-lifers must never let down their guard. All it takes is for a few rogue leftwing activists on the state supreme court to invalidate all laws protecting the unborn. From there, restoring protection for the unborn becomes very difficult and with few options (see Kansas).
I’m afraid there may be a great reckoning in November.....
AMEN!!!
Indiana becomes 1st state to approve abortion ban post Roe
That's not a total ban, Daily Mail.
I agree with these exceptions, except I can never figure out why they include incest. If a 20-year-old woman gets pregnant after consensual sex with her father, why should she be allowed to legally kill the baby?
The theory is that in incest, sex was coerced so it is not unlike rape.
Holcomb is a POS
He just gave the teachers unions a big sloppy kiss with money that was supposed to go to every Hoosier
They will be searching for another “Past-10-weeks-pregnant-10-year-old-rape-victim-who-had-to-go-out-of-state.”
