Appeals court upholds Indiana abortion ban

[RandySF]

The Indiana Court of Appeals on Monday affirmed a ruling by a trial court judge upholding the state’s near-total abortion ban, specifically provisions relating to medical providers and potential exemptions.

The law, which was enacted in a special 2022 session, only allows for exceptions in the case of a mother’s health, rape or incest, or a fatal fetal anomaly — though each with varying time limits.

Plaintiffs argued that certain pregnancies could imperil the health of the mother, but providers could be afraid to pursue an abortion for fear of the repercussions. Additionally, the law limits all abortion care to hospitals or an ambulatory surgical center, rather than the free-standing clinics who largely performed these reproductive health procedures prior to the ban.

“The circumstances argued by the medical-care providers here generally do not necessitate an abortion to treat those risks,” ruled the panel of judges. “… because the constitutional right to an abortion requires an extreme medical scenario where the woman’s life or health is at serious risk, performing a constitutionally protected abortion in Indiana is a procedure that nearly always will be done in a hospital.

1. This is why you don't use Gaza or Medicare for all

Or she once gave a speech to rich people as an excuse not to vote for the Democrat.

Courts are now filled with Maga morons who couldn’t read the constitution or anything past the fourth grade if their life depended on it.

Next time there’s an election and as usual there are only two choices, and there are ALWAYS only two choices, one will be the Nazi and one will be the person who is NOT the Nazi, so when you talk negatively about the candidate who is not a Nazi, people get turned off to voting altogether.
