Timothy Wesco is a Republican member of the Indiana House of Representatives,representing the 21st District since 2010. Following his election at 25,he was the youngest member of the Indiana House. [1]
Wesco opposes abortion rights in almost all circumstances,including rape or incest. In a July 2022 state House debate for a bill that would ban abortion in Indiana,he argued that rape victims should not have access to abortion, [2] however,his voting record showed otherwise,as on the floor he voted against Amendment 76,which would have removed those exceptions. [3]
In January 2025,Wesco introduced House Bill 1684,a bill which would end no-fault divorce for married couples with children. [4] [5] HB 1684 would require couples with children to prove their marriage is "irretrievably broken",either through witness testimony or both parties convincing a judge. It was criticized by domestic violence victim advocates as having the potential to make escaping abuse more difficult. [6] [4] The bill was withdrawn in February 2025. [4]
