Indiana Senate OKs abortion bill

January 29, 2008

Star Staff

The Senate voted 39-9 today to require that pregnant women considering an abortion be given information about the possibility of fetal pain and when life begins.

Under Senate Bill 146, sponsored by Sen. Patricia Miller, R-Indianapolis, women would be told that medical opinions differ on whether the fetus feels pain. They also would be told that life begins when human sperm penetrates the human ovum and the cells begin to divide and grow.

Both issues have been the subject of ongoing debate.

The bill, which passed with no debate in the Senate, now moves to the House for consideration.
