Republican Indiana State Rep. J. Michael Davisson
Headline: AlterNet, 8/7/2022
During debate over the bill, a video shows Republican Indiana State Rep. J. Michael Davisson being questioned by Democratic State Rep. Carey Hamilton about a proposed amendment to make abortion illegal even in the case of lethal fetal anomalies.
"I'm thinking about situations all mothers might face," Hamilton said, speaking to Davisson on the Indiana State House floor. "Say at 17 weeks I had an ultrasound and was told that the fetus is failing to thrive and has no chance of survival, with this amendment, is it true that I would have to carry that fetus to term?"
Davisson asked Hamilton to rephrase her question.
Hamilton responded by repeating her original question with a slight variation while emphasizing that such a fetus had no chance of survival.
"Yes," Davisson replied.
