During the rally opposing the Whole Womans Health Alliance clinic, Attorney General Curtis Hill told a crowded church that he opposes abortion, but would remain objective.

U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker on Friday denied Attorney General Curtis Hill's request for an immediate stay to prevent the clinic from opening until Indiana's appeal is considered.
