4 States Consider Bills To Treat Women Who Get Abortions as Murderers
REASON
House Bill 1334 was introduced by State Rep. Lorissa Sweet (R–Indianapolis) on January 13. It has attracted two co-sponsors so far and has been referred to the Committee on Courts and Criminal Code.
Sweet’s bill would modify Indiana’s criminal code so that the phrase “human being” includes beings in utero and fertilized eggs. Human being “includes an unborn child at any stage of development from fertilization at the fusion of a human spermatozoon with a human ovum,” H.B. 1334 states.
