2024 IN Governor's race: on Abortion


Suzanne Crouch: Rape/incest survivors need notarized affidavit for abortion

[Indiana Democratic Party press release in opposition]: Additionally, Crouch has shown that she has no problem supporting her Party's extremist agenda. Let's not forget Crouch cast the tie-breaking vote to require survivors of rape or incest to have their affidavits notarized before getting a legal and safe abortion. There's little evidence to believe Crouch would actually put a stop to this extreme level of politics.

Suzanne Crouch: Supports a near-total abortion ban, focus on women's health

Crouch addressed reproductive health in the state, saying she is pro-life and wants to focus on women's health in regards to future legislation. She touted Senate Bill 2, passed during a special legislative summer session, saying it provided "$75 million for the support of families and for the support of mothers and babies". The legislation is a near-total abortion ban.

Jennifer McCormick: I do believe that women should have the right to choose

[On reproductive rights]: "I do believe that women should have the right to choose," McCormick said. "A woman should be able to determine who's making that decision with her. Is it a physician? Is it a type of clinic that you visited? Is it a family member? That's your own body, and as a mom, as a woman, I know the importance of being able to make those health care decisions all the way around."

Mike Braun: Secure and strengthen gains we have made to protect life

Strong families are the foundation of a healthy society. Indiana should be a place where starting a family is more affordable and achievable. State lawmakers must work to ensure the gains we have made to protect life are secured and strengthened, while working to help mothers and their infants receive the care and social support they deserve to ensure a healthy start to life.

Eric Doden: As a Christian, I am 100 percent pro-life

As a Christian, I am 100 percent pro-life and will always defend the dignity of all life. As Governor, we will work tirelessly to find permanent loving homes for the 13,000 children who are currently in our foster care system. By implementing our Zero-Cost Adoption Plan, we will reduce both the financial and bureaucratic barriers to potential adoptive families.

Eric Doden: Will be a champion for the unborn; for zero-cost adoption

A husband, father, and faithful Christian, I am 100% pro-life and will be a champion for the unborn as Governor. It's not just a religious issue for me, it's a human rights issue.

Being pro-life also means I am also pro-mother, pro-child, and pro-family. We will protect the vulnerable and make Indiana one of the first states in the nation to have zero-cost adoption. I support the sustainment and creation of crisis pregnancy centers and local Safe Haven Baby Boxes.

Curtis Hill: Supports legislation that restricts access to abortion

A Christian and father, Curtis and his wife Teresa are deeply pro-life and know that life begins at conception. In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade and made abortion a state issue. As governor, Curtis will defend the sanctity of life and support legislation that restricts access to abortion. Abortion is both a legal and a moral issue, and there is no issue more critical to justice than protecting society's most vulnerable: the unborn.

Eric Doden: Ardently pro-life including zero-cost adoption policy

Our zero-cost adoption policy is bringing people together on an issue that can often divide. People know I'm ardently pro life, but they also appreciate that we have a zero-cost adoption policy for the 13,000 kids in foster care. And those are the ideas--teacher investment program, our commitment to early childhood education--all these ideas are on our website, and I think it clearly sets us apart from our other candidates in this race.
