Erin Houchin remarks on protecting minors

This is the text of the remarks that State Senator Erin Houchin gave at the Indiana Right to Life press conferences on June 20. Good morning.

In addition, the provider must notify the Dept. of Child Services within 3 days of the procedure. The reason for this is clear: the age of consent in Indiana is 16. Any pregnant girls younger than that could be the victim of a variety of sex crimes or trafficking. Doctors play an integral part in identifying and reducing...
