6 thoughts on “Doctors, hospitals push back on Indiana abortion bill

  1. “The House speaker said the abortion bill was sent to the courts committee–rather than to the Public Health Committee—because he “felt like it was the appropriate place to put it.”

    IN Republicans trying to figure out the fastest and most efficient way to harm women. And succeeding, sadly.

    1. It’s infuriating that a group of dusty old men is deciding what a woman can and can’t do with her body. Totally insane.
      Government has no business in deciding these decisions; the land of the free…my eye.

    2. Poor, oppressed, affluent, first-world, white-collar women. Truly the most beleaguered creatures on the planet. Not a lick of political power and only “dusty old men” deciding for them. Just like it was dusty old men who brought about the Roe decision.

      I don’t want blanket abortion bans either. I want them legal for the first trimester, and concessions made in those supremely rare situations where woman’s life is at risk, or in cases of rape or incest. But to turn this into a cudgel against men, when there are far more women in the Indiana General Assembly now than there were in 1970, and more women vote (no small part due to the large number of men in prison), means you aren’t going to win any arguments. One of the many reasons why we’re in the state we’re in.

      Bodily autonomy and individual freedoms–and the hypocrisy evoked by these men and women’s willful disregard of this–is a far better approach. And maybe at least a modicum of consideration for the fact that, yes, it is a human being that you’re killing…one of the main reasons we wanted to keep it “safe, legal, and rare” according to a very reasonable Democrat in the 1990s. The Democrats today have completely dropped the “rare” part…why? Abortion isn’t health care and if the left keep this radical premise they can expect an equally militant backlash from the right. Again, part of why we’re in this state of affairs.

  2. Lauren, the main point of Rachael’s comment was your point exactly – “deciding what a woman can and can’t do with her body”. She modified that point with a generalization, sure, but it is also a true that the majority of the body taking away this bodily autonomy decision happens to be male in this state.

    True that abortion isn’t always “healthcare” but also true that it isn’t never healthcare. 

    Maybe there’s evidence to the contrary, which I would consider, but I believe the argument that the ban is a reasonable reaction to a radical push from the pro-choice side to expand abortion in this state is a straw man. Certainly that is the case in other states, but once this was punted to be a “state’s rights” issue, those actions aren’t germane to defending a draconian ban here. I’m not aware of any groundswell of efforts in this state to expand Roe that today’s Indiana lawmakers are acting in good faith to limit. Simply zealously dealing now with the car that’s been caught.

    Certainly, we all should acknowledge that abortion has an impact on human life. Similarly, we all should acknowledge that abortion represents a gender-disproportionate grab by the state. Perhaps if these ban laws forced the outcomes to be equally shared by both the egg and sperm sources that would help equalize things.
