Abortion-rights supporters are calling on Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb to oppose an Indiana bill that would grant fertilized human eggs the same rights as those who have been born. Some believe the bill was designed to provoke a legal fight that might eventually challenge the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 decision legalizing abortion. The Indiana Reproductive Justice Coalition delivered a nearly 3,000-signature petition protesting the bill to Holcomb’s office Wednesday.
