Indiana on Friday became the first state in the nation to approve abortion restrictions since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, as the Republican governor quickly signed a near-total ban on the procedure shortly after lawmakers approved it.

The ban, which takes effect Sept. 15, includes some exceptions. Abortions would be permitted in cases of rape and incest, before 10-weeks post-fertilization; to protect the life and physical health of the mother; and if a fetus is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly. Victims of rape and incest would not be required to sign a notarized affidavit attesting to an attack, as had once been proposed.

Under the bill, abortions can be performed only in hospitals or outpatient centers owned by hospitals, meaning all abortion clinics would lose their licenses. A doctor who performs an illegal abortion or fails to file required reports must also lose their medical license — wording that tightens current Indiana law that says a doctor “may” lose their license.

The Federal Government Must Restore NATIONWIDE LEGAL ABORTION NOW

FRIDAY JUNE 24, The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion, reversing this Constitutional right, an atrocity. Now, they're coming for birth control, LGBTQ rights, voting rights and more.  

These will be determined, non-violent, visible, truth-telling public actions which shake the conscience of everyone involved, and everyone watching. Wear & spread #Green4Abortion, the international symbol of abortion rights. Have your signs ready. Act in the interests of people -- women and girls -- whose lives are being owned by the state.
