INDIANAPOLIS, January 6, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Indiana State Republican Troy Woodruff introduced a bill into the House there Wednesday that proposes to make abortion illegal.
Woodruff said he hopes the bill will go to committee; if passed the bill would no doubt be repealed by the courts, at which point, Woodruff said the law could go to the Supreme Court, where Roe v. Wade has not yet been challenged by the court’s new members.
“Also the people have never had an opportunity (through their representatives) to vote on the matter,” he said, as reported by the Evansville Courier & Press. The new law proposes to make abortion a Class C felony, which carries a two- to eight-year prison sentence. Woodruff added an exception for women whose pregnancy posed a risk of “substantial permanent impairment of the life or physical health of the pregnant woman.”

The people of IN need to take a stand against such nonsense such as this. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B Anthony, as well as all of the women dedicated to feminism's causes, did not fight their entire lives during the first wave of feminism, or the waves thereafter, to have their efforts repealed by legislators who now consider themselves God. This is ridiculous!!
