Round 112 in the fight. This legislation will get shot down in the courts like all of the rest. And appealed as far as they can get it heard. It's just another attempt by anti-abortion activists at getting the Supreme court to rule on it again . . . post Alito.
This is legislation for the state of Indiana, not federal legislation. I believe that it depends on the makeup of the Indiana legislature. I agree with the bill's sponsor that it should probably be a state issue and I fully support this legislation.
I quote from your article. "An Indiana law banning most abortions most likely would be challenged in the courts and could end up as a test case before the U.S. Supreme Court to possibly overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion nationwide." States have tried to get around the federal law before. It has not yet succeeded.
Unfortunately, that doesn't matter. Roe v. Wade defined the woman's right to murder her baby as protected by the Constitution. It is not for states to decided. This bill would be thrown out by any court. Untill we have Supreme Court Justices smart enough to see that life begins with conception we are stuck with the horrible practice of baby murder.
I doubt this even makes it to the Supreme Court. I don't think it's an issue they want to deal with right now. They've made a decision & will keep with it until they think they have the justices on board to change it, which may be never.
i dunno about all this, but i do hope that whatever happens leads to an increase in abortions, because more murdered babies from irresponsible familes means less crime in the future. (i didnt make this up, this is an actual measurable phenomenon)
I disagree. Most people who have kids who grow up to be criminals don't go for abortions, they just keep spitting out future carjackers every 9 months.
