		<description>Holy crap!  I (reluctantly admitting) live in Indiana, and this is the first I&#039;ve heard of this! However, now that the initial shock has worn off, it really shouldn&#039;t come as any surprise to anyone who knows anything about this bassackwards state. Any state that consistently votes Republican sheerly out of habit, mainly due to a willful self-reinforcing ignorance of the world around them combined with a society-wide lack of intellectual curiousity, when mixed with a healthy dose of unquestioned &quot;faith&quot; and &quot;family values&quot; is capable of this. 

Usually, the zealots who manage to get themselves elected to the State Legislature/school boards/etc. try to sneak these things through. Fortunately, there are a handful of reps at the Statehouse that are aware enough to keep an eye out for thing like this and present just enough resistance to thwart them. I hope this case turns out that way as well... but, as I alluded to earlier, nothing would surprise me anymore. 

Hell, they&#039;re still debating the whole &quot;Daylight Savings Time&quot; thing, even though it would have no practical or appreciable impact on the state or the state&#039;s economy AT ALL.. and this argument has been going on for *decades*! :)</description>

		<description>This story makes me sick. The same people who want this law want to cut the medical programs that make it possible to save premies. They also want to cut programs for the children who are then disabled for life because of good science. I wonder if their real goal in destroying science is actually to prevent these babies from living at all after they are born/baptised. Or do they forget that it was science that makes it possible for a premie to survive at all?</description>

		<description>Astonishingly enough, this is not the first time that the Indiana state legislature has tried to legislate science.  In 1897,  an amateur mathematician in the Indiana legislature set the mathematical constant pi (roughly 3.14) as equal to 3.2, by law.  It actually passed the house, but got delayed (and ultimately killed) in the Senate.

		<description>I am a labor and delivery nurse. If we are unable to stop pre-term labor, and a woman delivers before 23-24 weeks, we do not even try to resuscitate the baby, it is simply not viable. But, what do you expect from anti-science republicans?</description>
