Two rallies for and against defunding Planned Parenthood drew hundreds over the weekend.

When she retires at the end of June, Betty Cockrum will have worked at Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky for exactly 15 years.

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.

The women's health provider will close its Muncie and Terre Haute clinics this month, and merge four others with nearby neighbors.

What representatives of Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, Indiana Right to Life and Gov. Mike Pence are saying about Thursday's ruling.

A federal judge Thursday ruled parts of Indiana's new anti-abortion law unconstitutional, blocking them from taking effect.

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.

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.

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.
