Indiana Considering Bill - No Abortions When Fetus Is Deformed Or Disabled.

It sounds like Indiana legislature is considering a bill that denies abortion when fetus is deformed for disabled. If that is true who pays for a terribly disabled child as long as it lives, when the GOP in Indiana supports ending the safety net and cutting workers wages, and is against job security?

Cannot believe the insanity piled on insanity. This story was mentioned on Chicago progressive radio news.

the first woman forced to give birth to a deformed or disabled baby because of this, needs to march as soon as possible to the Indiana legislature and drop her baby off there. Let them deal with it.

Okay, so leaving the baby is a bit harsh, but they need to get a clue about the realities of such situations.

As the mother of a developmentally delayed child. I love with all my heart, wouldn't change a thing. But it devastated my family financially for 19 years. We have almost no savings because we spent two decades paying doctors who saved his life time and again... These evil rotten people have no idea what they're doing. I just keep thinking I'm in an alternative reality. This cannot be happening.

simply have not idea how difficult it is, how physically, emotionally, and financially draining.

Heck, having "normal" kids is quite the full-time job, and there's not enough help out there even for them. But a child with disabilities of some kind? Those lawmakers are, as you put it, evil rotten people.

Then if the child is not white and rich, it can fuck off and die ASAP!

Funny how that "pro-life" BS works eh?

Of disabled and deformed newborns being abandoned in hospitals. And the Safe Haven Law means the parents can't be arrested for it.
