The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down portions of Indiana’s 2016 measure, which in part banned abortions performed solely because of a fetus’s gender, race, or potential disability.

The governor signed the measure without fanfare Sunday, shortly before leaving the country for a multi-day trade mission to Canada.

The House Public Policy Committee rejected some changes to an anti-abortion bill.

The new ruling deals an Indiana University lawsuit on aborted fetal tissue used for research.

A federal judge initially halted the 2016 bill’s major provisions before they took effect last year.

The law requires doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.

Attorney General Curtis Hill said the ruling makes it easier for a 14-year-old to get an abortion than a tattoo.

Judge Sarah Evans Barker issued a temporary injunction to prevent the state from enforcing three provisions of the controversial measure.
