His Senate Bill 236 would prohibit manufacturing, distributing, mailing, prescribing or possessing abortion-inducing drugs in Indiana – with exceptions for a pregnant woman’s own actions, the drugs’ other uses, the U.S. Constitution and federal law.
The bill would require courts to award successful qui tam plaintiffs at least $100,000 per violation and attorney’s fees.
Another provision redefines “abortion” in state code to any means intended to “cause the death of an unborn child,” with some exceptions.
Democrats on Monday offered amendments to delete the qui tam provisions, undo the proposed definition change and more, but all failed in voice votes.
Senate Bill 236 next heads to the House for consideration.
