INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana Republican lawmaker says he will propose legislation next year that would effectively ban abortion in the state, despite a 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that established a nationwide right to abortion.
State Rep. Curt Nisly, of Goshen, says he’ll sponsor the bill when the Legislature meets in January.
Abortion-rights groups are certain to oppose the measure, and it is doubtful that it will advance in the Statehouse.
But anti-abortion groups are emboldened by Donald Trump’s election and hope the Republican president-elect will appoint Supreme Court justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade.
Social conservative activist Monica Boyer says now is the time to push for legislation like Nisly’s. She and other abortion opponents hope a legal challenge would reach the nation’s highest court.

Once again proving: There is NO war on women.
Soon there will be no one in Indiana and they’ll just turn the state into a giant basketball stadium with the Indy 500 in the middle
I gotta find me a gif of chimps pulling/playing with wiring.
I think its going to be relevant soon.
Today, a ban on abortions.
Tomorrow, a ban on contraception.
The day after that, relaxing spousal abuse laws. (Aka, Suck it up, Buttercup)
The day after that, re-legalized spousal rape.
The day after that, bring back stoning of female adulterers.
The day after that, repealing the 19th Amendment.
The day after that…???
