Well done.
(Life News) — Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana has signed a bill to revoke taxpayer funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business. The bill makes the Hoosier state the first to go as far as it has in shutting down funding.
Daniels signed the bill Thursday along with 79 other bills and the abortion business has already responded by saying it has filed a temporary restraining order seeking to prevent the law from being enforced, though one pro-life group has already said the lawsuit will likely fail in court.
“Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has enacted a bill that cuts off federal funding for Planned Parenthood. Patients who rely on this support are now forbidden from using those funds to receive lifesaving care at Planned Parenthood health centers,” the group claims. “What anti-choice politicians couldn’t accomplish in Congress, they are now pushing state by state. Indiana will be the first to suffer the consequences of this unjustifiable assault on Planned Parenthood — and your state may be next.”
The new law also bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and is one of the strongest pro-life bills in the history of the state. The provisions contained in the bill will amount to the most substantial block of pro-life legislation passed in Indiana since the Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973.
