STATEMENT FROM HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADER PHIL GIAQUINTA ON INDIANA SUPREME COURT’S ABORTION BAN RULING 

7
INDIANAPOLIS – Today, the Indiana Supreme Court upheld Indiana’s near-total abortion ban. House Democratic Leader Phil GiaQuinta (D-Fort Wayne) issued the following statement: 
 
“This is a tremendously sad day for Hoosiers, but House Democrats will continue to fight for the fundamental right of women and girls to control their own destinies. Throughout the course of the 2022 special session, we heard countless women testify that access to abortion allowed them to do the right thing for themselves and their families.
Abortion is a serious and emotional matter, and I believe firmly that it is an issue best left to a woman and her doctor, not politicians. The Indiana Republican abortion ban won’t stop abortions, it will simply ban access to safe abortions. Hoosiers don’t want this future for Hoosier women and girls. 
 
“While today’s decision is disheartening, the fight to secure access to safe and legal reproductive healthcare has just begun. With the Republican’s near-total abortion ban now in effect, we will soon see the full scope of the devastation it will bring to Hoosier women and families. The House Democratic Caucus will continue to fight to reinstate a woman’s right to own her own body.”

  1. The Democrats deal in euphemisms, such as, “reproductive healthcare” instead of “induced viable fetal destruction in a woman’s womb”.

  3. Something needs to be done to make it legally safe for doctors and women in certain circumstances to be able to use abortion type steps in cases of incomplete miscarriage and any other dangers to woman’s reproductive health.

  4. The only thing fascist Republicans are interested in is taking away the rights of women. If they’re so interested in protecting children maybe they should do something about school shootings

    • Pro-life people are not facist nor are they only republican, and they do care about and take meaningful action to protect children.
      Pro-abortion is a Democrat prerequisit and if you pro-abortionist would address the killing of 3,000 innocent lives each and every day your concern for shootings would be more genuine.
      Democrats are the true Fascist, if you even understood what Fascist are.

  5. First, Boys, men, the father, does not have a say.
    Second, killing the most innocent and defensless among us is not the way to control one’s destiny.
