Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels has put an end to speculation about whether or not he would sign a bill that would make Indiana the first state to defund the abortion giant Planned Parenthood. Pro-lifers were on pins and needles over the bill, which passed the House earlier last week, and the Senate on the 20th, due to past controversial remarks from Daniels calling for a "truce" on social issues such as abortion, in order to focus on other issues, like the economy. The country has also been watching to see Daniels' decision, due to the fact that he is a possible contender for the 2012 GOP ticket. "I will sign HEA 1210 when it reaches my desk a week or so from now. I supported this bill from the outset, and the recent addition of language guarding against the spending of tax dollars to support abortions creates no reason to alter my position," said Daniels Friday. | | Planned Parenthood Prepares For Court Battle Against State The Indy Channel Planned Parenthood of Indiana is promising a legal battle if Gov. Mitch Daniels follows through on signing controversial legislation restricting abortion funding. Both sides are lining up for the ongoing battle that could remove taxpayer funding for organizations that provide abortions. When asked about the future of Planned Parenthood in Indiana Daniels responded, "It's up to them. The legislature decided to say that any organization, and they're not the only one just the biggest one, that's involved in abortions should not be supported with taxpayer dollars and that's a principle that apparently a huge majority of Hoosiers agree with." The president of the organization called Daniels' decision to sign the bill "unconscionable and unspeakable." |
