Indiana Legislature becomes first U.S. state to approve abortion ban after overturning of Roe v. Wade
Indiana’s Legislature became the first in the country Friday to pass new legislation restricting access to abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.Indiana was among the earliest Republican-run state legislatures to debate tighter abortion laws after the Supreme Court ruling in June that removed constitutional protections for the procedure.
Outside the House chamber, abortion-rights activists often chanted over lawmakers’ remarks, carrying signs like “Roe roe roe your vote” and “Build this wall” between church and state. Some House Democrats wore blazers over pink “Bans Off Our Bodies” T-shirts. The House also rejected, largely on party lines, a Democratic proposal to place a non-binding question on the statewide November election ballot: “Shall abortion remain legal in Indiana?”
“Ultimately it’s up to the Senate,” he said. “Voters have an opportunity to vote, and if they’re displeased, they’ll have an opportunity both in November and in future years.” Bauer’s comments were followed by raucous cheers from protesters in the hallway and subdued applause from fellow Democrats. The debates come amid an evolving landscape of abortion politics across the country as Republicans face party divisions and Democrats see a possible election-year boost.
