SB 172 – Abortion information – Sens. Delph, Young, Walker, Steele
Information to a pregnant woman before an abortion. Provides that informed consent to an abortion includes the requirement that a physician inform a pregnant woman that a fetus might feel pain. Provides that notice must be given in writing at least 18 hours before an abortion concerning the availability of adoptions, concerning physical risks to the woman in having an abortion, and stating that human physical life begins when a human ovum is fertilized by a human sperm.
The Indiana legislature sure does love legislating science.

Dave Sanders says
I want to propose a bill that we make all state politicians enter an “adoption lottery” so that they can take care of all of the kids they are “saving.”
The world has gone mad.

While we’re legislating personhood (with all its benefits) down to moments after ejaculation, why not expect a little responsibility out of the blastocyst? I propose we legislate that “unwanted invasion and occupation of the endometrium” be defined as a capital crime. The victim could then determine whether the offending “person” be punished by being raised in a resentful, neglectful, or impoverished household, or be banished to the custody of an adoptive parent, or be executed by abortion. These people are almost universally pro-death penalty, so that outta satisfy them.
Steve says
Or, we can amend our constitution to allow for ex-post-facto laws and allow former fetuses to volunteer to be aborted, since it’s such a panacea to society’s ills.
Branden Robinson says
Steve,
We already have that; it’s called “Selective Service”.
