Indiana Senate passes bill to ban most abortions
Fox News
A near-total abortion ban passed the GOP-controlled Indiana Senate during Saturday's special session by a 26 to 20 vote, and now heads to the House.
Republican Sen. Sue Glick, who authored the bill, called its passing a "huge step forward in protecting the life of the unborn children in our state."
The legislation would ban abortions from the time a fertilized egg implants in a uterus and allows exceptions in cases of rape, incest and when the mother's life is at risk. But a woman seeking an abortion under the rape and incest exceptions would be required to sign a notarized affidavit attesting to the attack.
