The likely 'model' for looming Indiana abortion restrictions

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

ANGOLA, Ind. – With the Indiana General Assembly and Gov. Eric Holcomb on the precipice of historic abortion restrictions in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court rendering Roe v. Wade moot with its Dobbs ruling, the architect of what happens beyond July 25 will likely be Terre Haute attorney James Bopp Jr.

Asked if he is currently advising General Assembly Republicans and Holcomb, Bopp told Howey Politics Indiana that he “wasn’t at liberty to say.”

A week before the U.S. Supreme Court Dobbs ruling, the National Right to Life Committee released what is called “model” legislation that Bopp helped develop as special counsel. In early July, the Indiana Right to Life endorsed this model. Bopp said the model offers “the best opportunity to protect the unborn, adding, “It is important that such states not only prohibit illegal abortions, but also employ a robust enforcement regime, so that these laws are sure to be enforced. Our model law does just that.”

He also described the “robust enforcement regime” that he said would be aimed at Democrat Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears in a city where most of Indiana’s 7,000 to 8,000 annual abortions are surgically performed. “That is because of radical Democrat prosecutors like the Marion County prosecutor, who has already said he will not enforce any criminal abortion,” Bopp said. “That is a radical seizure of power by a petty tyrant in Indianapolis where he thinks he’s above the law. It’s the legislature’s job to adopt laws, not his.”

1. By his logic

“That is a radical seizure of power by a petty tyrant in Indianapolis where he thinks he’s above the law. It’s the legislature’s job to adopt laws, not his.”

Shouldn’t he be butting out of this and not being involved and trying to sway the legislature?

Also, what happened to putting abortion to a vote of the citizens? How many are doing that?

Indiana Republicans were meeting a hotel to discuss a new law by themselves with no Democrats.

This screams of dirty politics, no transparency, trying to restrict in the middle of the night, figuratively speaking.
