Emboldened GOP state lawmakers targeting abortion

INDIANAPOLIS — Emboldened by their majorities in both houses of the Indiana General Assembly, some Republican state lawmakers intend to push for tighter controls on abortions during the coming legislative session.

Working with Indiana Right to Life, state Sen. Greg Walker, R-Columbus, and Rep. Wes Culver, R-Goshen, say they will offer legislation modeled after a Nebraska law prohibiting late-term abortion. They also are seeking to cut off Planned Parenthood of Indiana's government funding.

Although Gov. Mitch Daniels has said his focus will be on fiscal issues as well as education and local government reform, Walker said he wants to simultaneously tackle social issues, and that he has plenty of fellow lawmakers on his side.

Walker said the regulations he wants would enforce tighter standards for late-term abortions and aim to make informational literature more available and accurate for all women considering abortions.
