Political Video: Indiana Passes NEAR-TOTAL Abortion Ban, Don't Worry They Have Baby Drop Boxes
Indiana becomes the first state after Roe V Wade was overturned to pass new legislation that bans abortions. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live
Read more HERE: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/08/06/indiana-abortion-ban-roe-holcomb/
"Indiana became the first state in the country after the fall of Roe v. Wade to pass sweeping limits on abortion access, after Gov. Eric Holcomb (R) signed into law Friday a bill that constitutes a near-total ban 0n the procedure.
The Republican-dominated state Senate approved the legislation 28-19 on Friday in a vote that came just hours after it passed Indiana’s lower chamber. The bill, which will go into effect Sept. 15, allows abortion only in cases of rape, incest, lethal fetal abnormality or when the procedure is necessary to prevent severe health risks or death.
Supporters of abortion rights crowded into the corridors of the Indiana Statehouse throughout the day as lawmakers cast their votes, some holding signs that read “You can only ban safe abortions” and “Abortion is health care.” Moments after the vote, some protesters hugged and others stood stunned before the crowd broke out into chants of “We will not stop.”

When is it time to call a recession -- a recession?
Sometimes it's not just about the hard data ... For a president, it could be a rhetorical and messaging challenge, as well.
It is for President Joe Biden in 2022 ... and it was for President George W. Bush in 2008.
President Bush began 2008 in his State of the Union address by describing "a period of uncertainty."
As the year went on, "period of uncertainty" became "slowdown" ..."downturn" ..."rough patch" ..."tough times" ... even "danger."
When did he finally use the "R word" -- recession?
