Indiana’s largest hospital systems are opaque on their policies for post-rape abortions — or flatly deny the prospect as “elective” — drawing into question the effectiveness of the rape exemption written into the state’s newly effective abortion ban.

Abortion rights supporters gathered Sunday in Indianapolis to voice their opposition to a near-total abortion ban that goes back into effect in Indiana on Tuesday.

In a recent letter, a group of state attorneys general including Indianas Todd Rokita oppose a potential federal rule that would shield the private health information of people who access abortion in states where its legal.

Senate Democrats say Republican attacks on abortion access since the Supreme Court decision ending guaranteed abortion rights have left Hoosiers uncomfortable, confused and intimidated.

The harassment began soon after her young patient became flashpoint in the national debate over abortion, Dr. Caitlin Bernard told NPR. "It's honestly been very hard for me, for my family," she said.

Dr. Caitlin Bernard has threatened to sue Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita for "false and misleading statements" he made after she provided a medication abortion for the girl from Ohio.

Dozens of Hoosiers rallied outside the Statehouse Wednesday to keep the fire burning in support of abortion rights.

Indiana ranks in the bottom when it comes to maternal mortality. Some providers worry that the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will have further health ramifications on Hoosier women.

The Indianapolis protest was one of hundreds this week, across the country, in response to the leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that shows it will likely overturn Roe v. Wade.

What little public polling there is on abortion in Indiana shows that a large majority of Hoosiers oppose an abortion ban that doesn’t allow exceptions – like in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the pregnant person is at risk.
