The 2016 law banned abortions performed because of the fetus’ race, gender, or potential disability. It also required medical facilities to bury or cremate fetal remains.

An ultra-conservative faction of the state’s anti-abortion movement pushed for a total ban on abortion the last few legislative sessions. Those bills did not get a hearing or a vote.

The increase is partly explained by new legislation that requires terminated pregnancy reports to be filed within 30 days of an abortion.

The provision would have required physicians to report to the state what the bill calls “any adverse physical or psychological condition” resulting from an abortion.

The 2018 law requires any physician to report to the state “any adverse physical or psychological condition” that results from an abortion.

A lawsuit filed in federal court Thursday seeks to strike down almost all of Indiana’s abortion-specific regulations.

A federal judge is set to hear arguments in Planned Parenthood's bid to block a new Indiana law that requires medical providers who treat women for complications arising from abortions to report detailed patient information to the state.

The suit contends the new reporting rules and a separate provision requiring annual inspections of abortion clinics are both unconstitutional.

Three Indiana county prosecutors don’t want to defend the state’s new anti-abortion law against a suit brought by Planned Parenthood.
