Proponents say the law ensures the dignity of all lives and prevents discrimination against those with disabilities. But Planned Parenthood and the ACLU of Indiana say the measure unconstitutionally violates a woman's privacy.

The new law bans women from getting abortions because of fetal genetic defects, and it prohibit abortions from being performed because of a fetus's race, sex or ancestry. Critics of the legislation -- including some Republican lawmakers -- say it goes too far.

Gov. Mike Pence says he's still considering whether to sign a bill that bars women from having abortions solely because of a fetus' potential disability.

The House sent a bill Wednesday to the governor that bans abortions performed solely because of a fetus' sex, race or disability.

A bill placing restrictions on abortions passed through the Senate with opposition from Democrats and three Republicans.

Senate Bill 313 -- banning abortions based on race, gender or disability -- passed the full Senate earlier this session, but it couldn't get a hearing in the House. So, a Senate committee revived 313 in the form of an amendment to a House bill that deals with the disposal of fetal tissue.

A bill currently moving through the Indiana legislature would require all fetal remains to be cremated, interred, or both.

The state senate passed a bill that would bar women from aborting a pregnancy based on the fetus' race, gender or disability.

The bill is virtually identical to one that didn't pass last year. It bans abortions less than 20 weeks into term, but only if the patient's motivation is based on race, gender, disability, or the possibility of disability.

Gov. Mike Pence ordered the State Health Department to investigate the abortion and health care provider two weeks ago in the wake of videos allegedly showing national Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of aborted fetal tissue, which is against the law in Indiana.
