By: Sheila McCrea - Tuesday, August 2, 2022

INDIANAPOLIS — The public will have an opportunity to speak at the Indiana House hearing online, or in person Tuesday at the Statehouse.

On Monday, the Indiana House of Representatives assigned the proposed abortion ban bill to the Courts and Criminal Code committee.

On Tuesday, the committee is expected to meet in the morning until 5 p.m., with the House convening at 5:30 p.m.

The bill currently eliminates elective abortions with exceptions only to save the life of the mother and for victims of rape or incest.

Victims will have to get an affidavit signed and notarized if they would like to receive an abortion.

Pregnant people 16 and older will have up to eight weeks to decide if they want an abortion, while children 15 and younger will receive 12 weeks to decide.
