IU experts available to comment on Indiana abortion ban injunction

A judge has temporarily blocked Indiana’s near-total abortion ban, just one week after it went into effect. In an order granting a preliminary injunction in the case, Judge Kelsey B. Hanlon writes that the law violates the Indiana Constitution, and that bodily autonomy has been recognized in Indiana case law as a basic component of liberty. IU legal experts are available to comment on the ruling and its impact on abortion access in Indiana.
