Indiana ranks in the bottom when it comes to maternal mortality. Some providers worry that the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will have further health ramifications on Hoosier women.

Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears, a Democrat, said Friday his office has no plans to prosecute women or doctors over abortions.

Michigan officials and abortion rights activists have mobilized around a tier of strategies: in the courts, on the campaign trail and at the ballot box this November.

Abortion-rights supporters in Muncie this weekend joined the hundreds of towns, cities, and communities across the nation protesting the possible overturning of guaranteed abortion rights by the Supreme Court later this summer.

A decision from the U.S. Supreme Court this summer could remove federal protections for abortion across the U.S. Most of the Midwest and about half of all states are certain or likely to ban or severely restrict access to abortion if given the chance.

Overturning Roe v. Wade, as a leaked draft document indicates the U.S. Supreme Court might do, would end the constitutional right to an abortion. For Michigan OB-GYN Lisa Harris, the leak confirmed she needed to double down.

The Indianapolis protest was one of hundreds this week, across the country, in response to the leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that shows it will likely overturn Roe v. Wade.

What little public polling there is on abortion in Indiana shows that a large majority of Hoosiers oppose an abortion ban that doesn’t allow exceptions – like in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the pregnant person is at risk.
