THE CULTURE WARS ARE A ROUT:
Abortion Is Now Illegal in Indiana If the Reason You Want One Makes Republicans Uncomfortable (Eric Levitz, 3/25/16, NY Mag)
If you want an abortion because your fetus has a debilitating genetic defect, it is now illegal for you to get one in Indiana. On Thursday night, Republican governor Mike Pence signed a bill that bans abortions motivated by fetal genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome. The legislation makes Indiana the second state, after North Dakota, to deny women a constitutionally protected right if Republicans don't like the reason they want to exercise it.
