"Indiana passed a near-total abortion ban yesterday. By the time a woman realizes she's pregnant, she will effectively be prohibited from having access to reproductive health care. This is an absolutely shameful decision made by the Indiana legislature and governor.

"The ban has narrow exceptions and will endanger women and girls in a state that is already third-worst in the nation for maternal mortality. This decision puts lives in danger.

"I traveled to Indiana last month and met with more than 30 state legislators who were fighting against this. They stood up for women in the face of other so-called "leaders" who passed this law.

"But let's be clear about this--the majority of Americans believe that the government should not mandate to women what to do with their bodies. The Indiana legislature should not be making the personal health care decisions of women in their state."
