Anti-choice legislation in the Indiana Senate
An anti-choice bill introduced in Indiana would require doctors to tell women seeking abortions that life begins at conception and that a fetus can feel pain. Sounds like someone stole a move from the South Dakota playbook.
Republican Senator Patricia Miller of Indianapolis, an author of one of the bills, says she believes that if her bill makes it to the floor for a vote, it will pass both the Senate and the House. The bill has been assigned to the Senate Health and Provider Services Committee that she chairs. Similar legislation passed the House last year but failed in the Senate. Supporters believe the odds of passage are better this year because Republican Senator David Long of Fort Wayne is now the president pro tem. He is considered an abortion opponent.
Great.

How stupid - how can they make laws that provide FALSE information to people who might not know any better? It's evil and wrong.
