Republican lawmakers are moving quickly toward a vote on Indiana’s new abortion law. A Senate panel yesterday approved changes to the proposal that deals with when women and girls who are raped can get abortions. It’s a 12-week limit for girls under 16, and an eight-week limit for women and girls older than that. There’s plenty of opposition from Democrats and advocates, but that is not slowing the Republican-controlled legislature. The full Indiana Senate will hear the proposal tomorrow.
