Just called the legislative assistants for my state representative and state senator about HB 1577 and SB 353. Indiana already has some of the most restrictive laws in the country on abortion and voting access, and these bills are attempts to make us a worse place to live.

If you call today, odds are you’ll get a voicemail box (since the legislative assistants are dealing with the same snow as the rest of us). Leave your name, address, and phone number, and say that you’re opposed to these bills. If you feel like giving more details, I said that HB 1577 is “bad for personal liberty, and bad science all around,” and that “Indiana already has some of the nation’s most restrictive voting laws and SB 353 would make us worse, which I think is bad in a democracy.”
