Abortion protesters attempt to handout literature as they stand in the driveway of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Indianapolis, Aug. 16, 2019. The number of abortions being performed in Indiana has dropped steeply ahead of a court ruling that has a Republican-backed abortion ban set to potentially take effect in the coming weeks.
The new state reports were posted online Friday, the same day the Indiana Supreme Court released its decision finding the abortion ban adopted by the Republican-dominated Legislature last summer does not violate the state constitution. That decision did not immediately put the ban into effect, but it overturned a county judge’s order from September that has allowed abortions to continue in the state.Dr.
The monthly abortion rate dropped by one-third or more in the last months of 2022 as the state abortion ban took effect for about a week before being blocked by court order and abortion clinics faced patient confusion and staffing shortages. The group blamed “politically motivated attacks” for causing “chaos and confusion” among its patients. As soon as early August, “patients will be forced either to flee the state to access abortion if they have the means, seek abortion outside of the health care system, or carry pregnancies against their will with profound medical risk and life-altering consequences,” Planned Parenthood spokesperson Nicole Erwin said.
