Indiana State Legislature pushes bill to further restrict abortion [View all]

This is pretty extreme:

http://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2016/03/07/anti-discrimination-bill-abortions/81268752/

"An expansive and controversial bill pending in the Indiana House seeks to set more restrictions on abortion in the state — already one of the most restrictive in the nation.

The bill would restrict abortions based solely on a woman's motivation for terminating her pregnancy. And it also takes a stance against the controversial Planned Parenthood videos on the use of fetal tissue.

It would make Indiana the second state in the nation to make it illegal to abort a pregnancy because the fetus was diagnosed with Down syndrome or another disability. It also would prohibit abortions based on the sex or race of the fetus. And it could trigger a court challenge."
