  1. Quote: Indiana paid more than $3 million to the ACLU between 2011 and 2020 following the group’s successful challenges to unconstitutional state laws.

    How about a little more accuracy: Indiana paid more than $3 million to the ACLU between 2011 and 2020 following the group’s challenges to state laws adjudicated to be unconstitutional.

    Such a terrible waste of taxpayer money, spending it because the EVIL (‘sorry, no boldface or italics available for comments) ACLU wants to promote killing the most innocent among us….not to mention contributing to the well-documented emotional and relationship problems of MOST post-abortive women in their later years as they come to the realization of what they did; a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

    Oh, what a tangled web we weave….

    1. I am afraid your attempt at a headline rewrite neither changes the facts of what happened, nor makes the end result for Indiana any better.

      What IS a terrible wast of taxpayer money is the Indiana General Assembly’s insistence on trying to pass laws that state legal counsel and other experts have already advised them will likely be successfully challenged in court. If people are unhappy with what the Constitution authorizes, the proper course of action is to amend the Constitution, which has been done multiple times. Of course, you have to popular support in order to pass a Constitutional amendment, so perhaps it says something as to why it has not been done for this issue.

      Also, you should realize the ACLU has successfully challenged Indiana on others laws having nothing to do with abortion.

      In any event, I suppose the ACLU has many years to look forward to of collecting millions of dollars from Hoosier taxpayers who seem happy to be entangled in a web weaved by the legislators they keep putting in the General Assembly.
