Earlier this month an Indiana circuit court judge denied Planned Parenthood’s request to modify the state’s near-total abortion ban to include more health exceptions, keeping abortion prohibited in the state except to preserve the health and life of the mother, and in cases of rape, incest, and fatal fetal anomalies. The judge correctly ruled that the current law does not burden the rights of Indiana citizens. The law has resulted in a ninety-eight-point-six percent drop in abortions over the last quarter as compared to the same quarter last year when the ban was not in effect.

States with similar near-total abortion bans have shown birth rates have increased when abortion rates have dropped drastically. This is powerful, especially for a state like Wisconsin where we have been below replacement birth rate since nineteen-seventy-four. Saving lives can eventually even save communities!
