The 11 Planned Parenthood facilities in Indiana are fully booked for abortion appointments until the state’s abortion ban takes effect on August 1.
The Indiana Supreme Court last month upheld a near-complete ban on abortion after a contentious legal battle since its passage in August 2022.Abortion in the Hoosier State is, in the meantime, legal up to 22 weeks gestation, the status quo since Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union filed for an emergency injunction to block the new law.
The 22-week cutoff point for abortion has made Indiana a prime location for abortion tourism, especially from abortion-seekers in more restrictive neighboring states. Of those conducted in 2022, 611 were from Ohio and 950 were from Kentucky, both of which have been enforcing near-total abortion bans since July 2022 and February 2023, respectively.
