Why blogs are important
Posted by Jill | 7:22 AM

One of the most-covered stories in Blogtopia yesterday was the Indiana bill sponsored by state Sen. Patricia Miller that would essentially limit availability of reproductive technologies to white, Christian, heterosexual, married couples with a single breadwinner, stay-at-home mom, and regular attendance at church.

It looks like we've had an effect, because Miller has dropped the bill:

State Sen. Patricia Miller, R-Indianapolis, issued a one-sentence statement Wednesday saying: "The issue has become more complex than anticipated and will be withdrawn from consideration by the Health Finance Commission."

Miller said later that the issue of regulating assisted reproduction, just as the state regulates adoption, is multifaceted. She said there was not enough time for the committee -- a panel of lawmakers that meets when the Indiana General Assembly is not in session to discuss possible legislation -- to work through all of the issues involved by its next meeting Oct. 20.


I would guess we're all going to monitor Ms. Miller very carefully over the next year, because this is NOT something she's going to just let die.
