Judiciary Committee To Vote On Abortion Bill

Last updated on Saturday, January 12, 2008

(STATEHOUSE) - A controversial bill concerning abortion may be voted on by the Indiana Senate Judiciary Committee next week.

Lawmakers are debating the bill, which would require doctors to advise patients there's a possibility a fetus could feel pain during an abortion.

The bill would also make it mandatory for doctors to tell patients in writing that life begins at conception.

A similar bill died in the Senate last year.
