Legislative Assault on Women
Bills in the 2011 Indiana General Assembly
The conservative majorities in both the House and Senate are attempting an unprecedented assault on the right of Hoosier women to control their own fertility. Many of our patients lack health insurance or do not have adequate coverage for basic health care needs. For a significant number of them, we are the only health care provider they see. If successful, these purely political efforts to restrict access to reproductive health care would devastate low-income and uninsured Hoosiers who rely on Planned Parenthood of Indiana (PPIN) for exams, Pap tests, STD screening and treatment and family planning information. No other organization in Indiana does more to reduce unintended pregnancy and the incidence of abortion than PPIN.
