Abortion is one of the big topics during a special session of the Indiana General Assembly coming up on July 25.
State Senator Rod Bray, president pro tem of the Indiana Senate, said during a press conference, Wednesday afternoon, that the bill that will be considered during the session would limit abortion to being allowed only in the case of rape, incest, if the life of the mother would be in danger, or if the child would not live because of severe medical issues.
The bill (SB1) would not add any additional penalties for doctors who perform abortions. That penalty would still be the possible loss of their medical license.
The bill also would not penalize women who seek an abortion.
