The federal government might attack Indiana's new law that defunds the state's abortion providers, but one pro-lifer is confident the measure will stand.
The Obama administration has 90 days to look over the law that would impact use of Medicare funds for abortion. Mike Fichter of Indiana Right to Life says indications are the federal government will not approve the changes.
"Well, it's not surprising that the most pro-abortion administration in the history of this country would come out strongly against Indiana's new law that defunds Planned Parenthood," he notes. "We certainly hope that Indiana will stand strong. We think our attorney general will do a wonderful job in defending this law and that Indiana will refuse to be intimidated by the federal government."
But Fichter also believes Indiana is being singled out.
"The defunding of Planned Parenthood in Indiana is sending a clear opportunity for other states to do the same, so I think you do see a federal administration that will be trying to make an example out of Indiana using strong-arm tactics to get the state to back off of this new law," the pro-lifer suggests.
And he further believes this situation exposes the administration's agenda -- the same one that ordered its Justice Department to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
