Indiana senator admits rape victims could be charged under abortion bill but not rapists

Raw Story  

Indiana state Sen. Sue Glick admitted on Tuesday that her anti-abortion legislation could result in the prosecution of alleged rape victims but not alleged rapists. During a Senate committee debate on a bill to ban all abortion except in cases of rape or incest, Glick offered an amendment that would force rape victims to sign an affidavit before being allowed to have an abortion. "If they're lying and someone can prove that they're lying then there are repercussions," Glick remarked, referring to charges for the person seeking an abortion. Another amendment passed by the committee would give rape or incest victims over 16 years of age 8 weeks to request an abortion.
