PP & ACLU File Suit in IN

The usual suspects are working hard to have Indiana’s (IN) new abortion clinic law thrown out.

On March 25, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb (Republican) signed the bill (SEA 340) into law – one designed to provide transparency in the abortion industry.  Planned Parenthood (PP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have filed suit to have the law tossed out.  But Mike Fichter of Indiana Right to Life says it’s a commonsense measure.  “This new law in Indiana simply requires that women who are injured by abortion that those injuries are reported to the state,” he explains to OneNewsNow.  “The patient’s information is kept confidential, but the state wants to know the doctors that are injuring these women so that the state can step in and hopefully prevent this from happening in the future.” 

According to Fichter, the industry objects “in order to cover up its mistakes.”  PP, he points out, “likes to claim that abortions never harm women – [so] if that was the case, why do they oppose this commonsense law?  Their lawsuit begs the question: Does Planned Parenthood have something to hide?”

Another provision of the law, says the pro-lifer is designed to keep the bad actors out of the state.  “The law in Indiana simply says that if you’re trying to apply for an abortion clinic license in Indiana, the state wants to know if you’ve been convicted of a felony in other states,” says Fichter.  “The state wants to know if you’ve had other abortion clinics closed because of health and safety violations.”  In Fichter’s opinion, that’s information the state and abortion-minded women should have available.  [For example, Whole Woman’s Health (Texas-based chain of abortion clinics), has had run-ins with the state over health and safety issues and is now applying for a clinic license in South Bend, Indiana.]

The liberals give ‘lip service’ to women’s rights; and are hereby objecting to this commonsense law that cares for women’s health in IN.  Though this is about death by abortion, the Republicans are rendering ‘life service’ in this legislation signed into law.  It does appear that Planned ‘Murderhood’ has something to hide.
