Indiana abortion ban law stands as state Supreme Court rejects challenge

Indiana’s near-total abortion ban has survived a key legal challenge with the state Supreme Court rejecting a request that it take up the case.

The state’s highest court, in a 4-1 order issued Thursday, decided to let stand lower court rulings that upheld the constitutionality of the abortion restrictions approved by the Republican-dominated Legislature in 2022.

Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers argued in the challenge that the ban’s health exceptions allowing abortions were too narrow to comply with state constitution’s life and liberty protections.

Republican Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, whose office has defended the abortion ban in court, touted the Supreme Court’s order as “a decisive WIN for the people of Indiana and the unborn!”
