Tell Speaker Bosma: Stop Rep. Nisly's forced birth bill
Representative Curt Nisly announced on Twitter that he has filed his so-called “Protection at Conception” bill in the Indiana General Assembly. If signed into law, this legislation would ban all abortions in Indiana. We call on Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma to stop this bill now.
Why is this important?
Rep. Nisly’s so-called “Protection at Conception” bill would ban and criminalize abortion in Indiana. This legislation is stridently unconstitutional and directly in opposition to the viability criteria established in Roe v. Wade.
If enacted, Rep. Nisly’s legislation would create an impossible choice for many pregnant Hoosiers: violate their conscience or violate the law. In effect, this legislation would force pregnant Hoosiers to give birth - even if doing so jeopardizes their health or life. Simply put, Rep. Nisly wants to lead a crusade against a safe, legal medical procedure at the cost of criminalizing doctors who provide needed health care and patients who seek trusted medical counsel.
Let’s be clear: Hoosiers do not lose their constitutionally-protected rights because politicians don’t like them. This is an extreme agenda and it will not fly in our state.
Speaker Bosma, this legislation, if signed into law, will almost certainly be challenged in court and overturned. We urge you to use your leadership to stop this bill before it is officially filed and keep Hoosiers' rights protected.
