Action with Indiana’s abortion legislation was swift. In just about two weeks, Senate Bill 1 passed out of the legislature and was signed by Governor Eric Holcomb.
“I think there’s going to be a lot of gaps when doctors look at what women are experiencing, how to treat it,” Dr. Jody Madeira, a law professor with Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law, said.
Under the new law, there are four abortion exceptions — rape, incest, life and physical health of the mother, and lethal fetal anomalies. Rape or incest exemptions will need to be performed 10 weeks before post-fertilization. In the case of the life of a mother or lethal fetal anomalies, women will have up to 20 weeks post-fertilization for an abortion.“One of the things that my folks always taught me was before you make an important decision, you should always sleep on it. We should’ve slept on this for a while longer,” law professor at IU McKinney School of Law, Jennifer Drobac said.
Under the new law, performing illegal abortions or not filling out required reports are grounds for doctors to lose a medical license, and possibly face criminal penalties.“I think other states need to be watching what happens here in Indiana. I don’t think things will evolve comfortably here,” Drobac said.
