Indiana’s House members passed the abortion ban on a 62-38 the Senate passed it 28-19.

The law leaves children conceived in rape and incest, and babies with disabilities deemed “incompatible with life” unprotected. The bill also does not apply to birth control or treatment for women suffering an ectopic pregnancy.

Enforcement of the abortion regulations will be achieved through licensing penalties against abortionists as well as potential criminal charges.

Democrats Oppose Bill Despite Exceptions

Proving that the issue of rape and incest are nothing more than political tools, after all they account for less than 1% of abortions, prominent Democrats like Vice President Kamala Harris continued to attack the Indiana law and it’s pro-life supporters.

Indiana passed a near-total abortion ban yesterday. By the time a woman realizes she's pregnant, she will effectively be prohibited from having access to reproductive health care. This is an absolutely shameful decision made by the Indiana legislature and governor.

Corporate America Sides With Radical Abortionists

Making the illogical assertion that protecting the right to life of preborn children will reduce their workforce, Indiana based Eli Lilly announced that it will be expanding outside of the state in retaliation for the pro-life law.

The culture of death is SO excited that Eli Lilly @LillyPad, a corporation supposedly in the business of healing, is an extremist supporter of killing unborn human beings through abortion. Big Pharma now wants to kill unborn children.

Hopefully, GOP legislators remember Big Pharma’s complicity with killing preborn babies next time they come looking for big government handouts.
