Supreme Court asked to review abortion law signed by Pence

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear arguments over a law that bars women from having abortions based on gender, race or disability.

Vice President Mike Pence signed the law in 2016 when he was Indiana's governor. But federal courts have blocked it, saying it violates a woman's right to end her pregnancy.

Attorney General Curtis Hill on Friday asked the Supreme Court to take the case. He acknowledged a right to abort but says it's "not a right to decide which child to bear."

Ken Falk of the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana says Indiana's petition is an attempt to infringe on women's rights.

1. Um, yes it absolutely IS her right to 'decide which child to bear' you f***ing moron ...

Then again, all passing this law will do is make women stop telling anyone ... her 'reasons for doing so', and frankly, I'm sorta surprised any woman ever actually DOES do so. Because 'taint nobody's business if she do ...

2. and so the dismantling of women's reproductive rights begins

[Hekate]

4. It's been underway a long time. nt

[AJT]

6. Yes, but now they know they can succeed in full.

[Hekate]

3. And the Pences of the world are not jumping up to SUPPORT FAMILIES, are they?

If I knew I or my husband was a carrier of any of a number of horrible and fatal diseases, I would have my fetus checked, and if it tested positive for Tay-Sachs or hemophilia or another severe genetic disease, I would want an abortion.

But these *holes tell is that we "don't have the right to decide which child to bear." First, it's a fetus, not a child. It's not the Gerber Baby.

What the ever loving fck is wrong with these people?

5. We know this was all planned.

Has Kavanaugh even been confirmed a full 2 weeks?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. kavanaugh can still be aborted

[kimbutgar]

7. So it begins

Abortion outlawed just in time for the midterms. And the orange maggot will be crowing about it.

[roamer65]

8. Time for states like NY and CA to pass a law for unrestricted abortion.

Only way these state laws can attempt to be overridden is a Repuke Congress and Repuke President passing a national abortion ban.

But then we can just nullify their BS law anyway.

[Squinch]

9. God help us all.

[ProudLib72]

10. Kavanaugh is in place, so here we go...

[sheshe2]

11. The Titanic is sinking.

Women and children first...off.

[jmowreader]

12. I'm really trying to figure out how this works

Let's say I'm Nancy Smith, pregnant woman and resident of Lafayette, IN. My fetus is diagnosed by my OB/GYN as having a lethal genetic problem. If I get in my car, drive to Indianapolis, present myself at one of Indy's two abortion clinics, and claim the reason I am seeking abortion care is because "I really feel it's the wrong time to bring a child into the world," is the clinic supposed to do a complete genetic screen and call every healthcare provider in the state before performing the abortion to see if there's something I'm not telling them?

[pnwmom]

14. They'll probably require the woman to provide a certificate proving that the fetus

is genetically normal (non-disabled) in order to qualify for an abortion.

[jmowreader]

18. Or, if it came down to it...

She could jump on a Greyhound to Chicago and deal with it without all the bullshit.

Next thing I want to know: If you're in the midst of a pregnancy that'll either result in an infant that needs care you can't afford because of the congenital problems it's got, or that'll destroy your ability to get pregnant again after it fails, are there exceptions in the law for that? I find it a bit strange that with the baby fetish the GOP has, they would demand someone continue a pregnancy that'll require a hysterectomy to save the mother's life.

[angstlessk]

20. But how does she prove it's not a boy or a girl?

Ya know that gender thingy?

[Polybius]

15. Oh boy...

This makes me really nervous!

[Azathoth]

16. That didn't take long nt

[eppur_se_muova]

17. But hey, no pressure ... really. nt

[spanone]

19. case after case will be brought before this court

[lostnfound]

21. Insurance companies can end lives based on disability / pre-existing conditions

“All burden falls to the women”. It’s a rule in republican land.
