A Republican state legislator promises to introduce a bill next session that would ban all abortion in the state of Indiana.

With credit for time served and good behavior, Patel will be released no later than the end of September.

Planned Parenthood of Kentucky and Indiana sued the state over a mandate that women undergo an ultrasound at least 18 hours before having an abortion, arguing that it is unconstitutional and will prevent some women from getting abortions.

Gov. Mike Pence's decisions about health and healthcare in Indiana have drawn attention from within and outside the state. And his record could be important in November, because his running mate doesn't have a legislative record at all. Here's a quick look at the governor's record on health policy in Indiana.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt has blocked a new Indiana law that bans abortions sought because of a fetus' genetic abnormalities, saying the state does not have the authority to limit a woman's reasons for ending a pregnancy.

An Indiana University reproductive rights expert says the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to rule a Texas anti-abortion law unconstitutional could make it easier to strike down some of Indiana's laws.

The federal judge indicated a ruling will come before the law takes effect July 1.

Indiana's attorney general says in a brief filed Wednesday that the court should deny Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky's request for a preliminary injunction.

Participants say the protest wasn't really possible before the bill was approved by the General Assembly.

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.
