The Indiana Supreme Court has denied a request to rehear a case seeking to overturn the state’s abortion restrictions, thus allowing the law to be implemented.
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) bans all abortions except in cases of rape, incest, a diagnosis of lethal fetal anomaly, or when the life of the mother is in danger. The exceptions to rape and incest are restricted to 10 weeks following fertilization.
