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.

Legislation headed to the Indiana Senate criminalizes those who coerce people into having an abortion.
