A bill called HB 1337 is on its way to Indiana Governor Mike Pence, at which point he will decide if women who have had abortions should be held responsible for the burial or cremation of the fetus, amongst other bat-shit insane things.
Authored by Rep. Casey Cox, R-Fort Wayne, the bill would obligate both woman who sought abortions and women who miscarried responsible for the disposal of the fetus through cremation or internment. As well as additional trauma, this would likely increase the financial burden of their medical care.
The bill demands that a woman considering an abortion listen to the fetal heartbeat and view an ultrasound of the fetus 18 hours before the abortion procedure. She would have the option to sign a form to pass on this, and most Indiana women would have to. Only 4 out of 92 counties in Indiana have abortion providers, and the ultrasounds must be done at the same facility the abortion will be performed. That’s a lot of traveling and an 18 hour wait, meaning more cost and time away from home.
