Republican Rep. Wendy McNamara of Evansville, who sponsored the bill, said the legislation “reflects an understanding that this is one of the most difficult and contentious issues of our lifetime.”
Correct Rep McNamara. It was worthy of more thought, consideration and a vote by the people as “one of the most difficult and contentious issues of our lifetime.” SMH
@Elizabeth plus 1
Amen.
It is a very decisive and contentious issue. This should not have been hurried through the legislative process. Needs to come before the people as a ballot referendum. Let the people decide directly, instead of indirectly through their representatives. Then everyone has a direct voice in the matter.
Agreed. This is too important an issue to rush through like this. They are tow-towing to evangelicals, who insist on no compromises, instead of listening to the reasonable voices of the majority. They are afraid of a referendum, where a simple majority would prevail, so they’re relying on their gerrymandering to insulate them from the consequences of their ill-conceived actions. Will it work? We’ll find out in November.
Agreed!
It should be a bipartisan bill to accommodate sensible solutions to a complicatef
contentious issue. Then put it up to the voters to decide.
This need not be a contentious issue, if you believe (1) it is a matter for only the patient to decide and (2) it is wrong for state legislators to make it a religious issue (i.e., life begins at conception and is a divine gift).
Ha Ha…. The dog caught the car. The court rulings have always made this a “safe” culture war/Wedge issue up until now. The Republicans are in a lose lose position of their own making. As a manufactured political issue whipped up in the 1970’s to capture the hard core Catholic vote to elect Nixon, and then sucking in Christain Evangelicals in the 1980’s, it culminated in a revisionist history of Abortion in America in the recent supreme court ruling.
The inflamed pro-life rhetoric that has whipped up so many voters is coming back to bite them. For the 30+ percent that believed the propaganda the Republicans were were spewing, this does not go far enough. For the 60 percent (see Kansas vote) that believe Republicans are extending the heavy hand of government into what should be a women’s right to choose, this is going to cause an equal and opposite reaction.
The Republicans are masters at generating conservative outrage with their wedge/culture war issues and now I hope they have gone too far for the average Indiana citizen. I hope enough people realize this is all just political manipulation to maintain political control and are motivated to vote for somebody that actually might do good for Indiana citizens.
Agreed and thank you for your comments! I used to believe Indiana is a backward state. I’ve come around to believing our elected representatives are backward and out of touch (or just don’t care,) … not Hoosiers. Let us decide.
The usual blah, blah, blah, from the various leftist IBJ posters who ignore the rights of the unborn child. Remember, all you geniuses, all rights begin with The Right to Life. Without that right, all the other rights you enjoy are moot points.
For the umpteenth time, this is not a Biblical or philosophical issue: SCIENCE, not theologians or philosophers, has now proven that the DNA of the unborn child is different from the DNA of the mother carrying the child. Therefore, the unborn child is not “part of the mother’s body.” If it was, the unborn child’s DNA would be the same as that of the mother.
But it isn’t, period.
All you haters who preach we social conservatives and Christians are supposed to “respect science” as the ultimate authority on anything and everything are now free to post why science is wrong on this matter.
Not all scientist agree. Hypocrisy at its best. How about valuing life outside the womb? Lower drug costs, health care, gun restrictions, wearing masks, environmental, climate etc. The GOP is against all of these.
Bob P. – Here is the science. A fetus contains a mix of the DNA of the biological mother and the biological father (the father’s DNA being dominant. Because the fetus is physically connected to the mother by the umbilical cord for the delivery of vital fluids (without which the fetus cannot survive before the third trimester) it is therefore most certainly “a part of” the mother.
There is no life without the mother – sorry about that, Bob. Go get a uterus and then you can do your thing.
@ Michael G. LOL..
Bop P talking about “science”!! Ha!! That’s a good one.
Were becoming a theocracy, not a democracy, not sustainable long term.
What happens with IVF? You have to throw out some fertilized eggs or you’ll have a litter. Hey Bob P, should these eggs be counted in the census?
