Indiana Supreme Court Rules Abortion Ban Is Constitutional

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : The law was quickly halted by a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood Great Northwest before being vacated by the state Supreme Court, which ruled that the law did not violate the Indiana Constitution.
36% : Justice Derek R. Molter wrote the majority opinion and agreed that Indiana law protected a woman's right to abortion when her life was at risk, but acknowledged that in all other areas the "General Assembly otherwise retains broad legislative discretion for determining whether and the extent to which to prohibit abortions."
33% : Senate Bill 1 was signed into law in 2022 and prohibited abortion with limited exceptions in the case of preventing "serious health risk of the pregnant woman or to save the pregnant woman's life," if the child is diagnosed with a "lethal fetal anomaly" or rape or incest, according to the bill's text.
