What the hell is there to think about? Just do it.

(Indy Star) — Gov. Mitch Daniels said this morning he does not know yet if he will sign House Bill 1210, which makes Indiana’s abortion restrictions among the tightest in the nation while also defunding Planned Parenthood.

“I haven’t decided yet,” Daniels said.

The defunding of Planned Parenthood “has been attached to a bill I strongly supported,” he told The Indianapolis Star. “But we’ve got a little research to do.”

Among those closely watching Daniels’ decision will be those handicapping his presidential prospects. Daniels is weighing a decision whether to run for the Republican nomination for president. He’s been criticized by social conservatives for saying the next president should seek a “truce” on social issues in order to focus the nation’s attention on what he sees as a dire fiscal outlook.
