Indiana first state to pass near-total abortion ban post-Roe
August 6, 2022 | Chris Donaldson
Indiana has become the first state in the nation to approve a near-total ban on abortions after the historic Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and sent the contentious issue back to the American people to decide.
Republican Governor Eric Holcomb announced late Friday night that he had signed a bill that banned the denial of life to the unborn after both houses of the legislature passed it. There will be a few exceptions for rape and incest, and to protect the life and health of the mother.
Holcomb signed Senate Bill 1 within an hour after it passed the Indiana Senate 28-19, making Indiana the first state to have such a ban pass through both chambers since the high court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization after West Virginia lawmakers punted away the opportunity last month.
