SCOTUS Makes 2 Key Decisions on Indiana Abortion Laws

HeadlineMay 29, 2019

As states around the country ramp up their attacks on reproductive rights, the Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to rule on an Indiana law that would bar abortions based on the sex, race or disability of the fetus. The Supreme Court decision will keep in place a lower court’s injunction on the measure.

The Supreme Court, however, decided to allow Indiana’s so-called fetal burial law to go into effect, which stipulates that abortion clinics and providers must dispose of fetal remains either through burial or cremation. The measure was signed into law by then-Governor Mike Pence in 2016.
