HAPPENING TODAY: The Indiana Senate will vote on a measure that would ban abortions in the state except in cases of rape, incest and when the mother's life is at risk.
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Senate will meet Saturday morning to vote on measure that would ban abortions in the state except in cases of rape, incest and when the mother's life is at risk.
Late Thursday, senators voted 28-18 to reject an amendment that would have made this bill a near total ban on abortions, making it illegal even in cases of rape and incest. The Senate returns at 11 a.m. Saturday to hear the abortion ban bill on third reading. If it passes, it will go to the House for debate next week.
