The Senate Health and Provider Services Committee Wednesday ripped some controversial language from two abortion bills before passing the legislation out of committee without dissent.

House Bill 1172, an ‘informed consent’ bill similar to one passed in Texas some time ago, would have required doctors to tell women seeking abortions that human life begins at conception and that their fetus might feel pain during the procedure.

However, the committee elected to removed that language, leaving only the requirement that doctors inform women of the option of adoption and that there are physical risks to the mother during an abortion.

Sen. Pat Miller (R-Indianapolis), said it is not the language she would have liked but she couldn’t reach agreement on another amendment before the committee vote.

Miller said she might still explore a provision putting the contentious language back in but with a clause giving a doctor an exemption if he or she has a conscientious or religious objection to the information.

On separate legislation, the committee removed specific physical requirements for abortion clinics from House Bill 1080, instead opting for general language requiring clinics to meet building and safety codes and provide a healthy environment.

The amendment also would require the Indiana State Department of Health to inspect abortion clinics once a year, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazzette reports.

The original language could have forced all the state’s abortion clinics out of business because they would not have met some of the requirements, such as the width of hallways or number of drinking fountains.

Michael McKillip, director of legislative affairs for Planned Parenthood of Indiana, called the amendment a “substantial compromise” but said “nobody should stop paying attention to the issue.”

The House author of the legislation—Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Howe), said the language doesn’t go far enough and he wants to keep working on the bill.

Both pieces of legislation now go to the full Senate for consideration.
