Republican Senator Mike Young has introduced a new bill in Indiana that would force women seeking an abortion under the state’s rape and incest exceptions to sign an affidavit and potentially face an investigation and penalties of perjury.
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Indiana enacted an extreme abortion ban. Abortions are legal only in minimal cases, such as in the case of severe pregnancy complications or cases of rape or incest up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. However, for Young, the ban still isn’t extreme enough. He has even clashed with his fellow Republicans over his extreme stance on abortion. In 2022, when Republicans were crafting Indiana’s abortion legislation, Young proposed an amendment that would altogether remove the rape and incest exceptions. Eventually, he exited the Republican caucus when he failed to win support for eliminating the exceptions. Over the years, it appears he hasn’t relented in his quest to deny rape and incest survivors abortions. He recently introduced a new Senate bill that would re-traumatize and dissuade survivors from seeking an abortion under Indiana’s exceptions.
