"Not her body, not her choice": Indiana lawmakers on abortion ban

Rep. John Jacob (R):

“The body inside of the mom’s body is not her body. Let me repeat that: The body inside of the mom’s body is not her body. Not her body, not her choice,” said Jacob, a staunch abortion opponent who supported removing exceptions including for rape.

“Trying to end all abortion is not forced birth, but rather it is trying to end murdering children,” he said on the floor…

Sen. Jean D. Breaux (D):

“Eight of us in this chamber have ever had the possibility of becoming pregnant, yet we are about to tell millions of Hoosier women what they can do with their bodies,” she said.

Breaux described the legislation as an infringement on democracy. “Women should have the right to make these decisions in consultation with their doctors, not their state legislators,” she wrote in a tweet.
