Indiana’s six abortion clinics have stopped providing abortions ahead of the state’s near-total abortion ban officially taking effect, and as a petition is pending before the state’s high court asking it to keep the ban on hold while legal action continues
, the Indiana Supreme Court found that the ban doesn't violate the state constitution. Its ruling struck down a preliminary injunction that had kept the ban on hold, although that ruling has yet to be certified to officially take effect.
Attorney General’s office spokeswoman Katlyn Milligan said in a statement Tuesday that, “On the eve of Indiana’s pro-life law going into effect, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood made a desperate attempt to prevent Indiana from enforcing our own law. We responded to this filing immediately and are now waiting for the Court to rule.”
Gibron said Indiana’s abortion ban will “target Hoosiers of color, indigenous communities and those already marginalized by our health care system.” The state's other abortion clinic, Women's Med, stopped providing abortions on Friday, a representative said Tuesday. Planned Parenthood of Illinois had prepared for years for the possibility of Roe v. Wade falling, and it opened clinics near the Indiana and Wisconsin borders in 2018 and 2020 in anticipation of those states restricting access to abortion, said Kristen Schultz, the affiliate's chief strategy and operations officer.
