Whole Woman’s Health Alliance

Whole Woman's Health Alliance said the state's anti-abortion movement precipitated the clinic closing.

Whole Woman's Health -- South Bend's only abortion clinic -- will stay open to provide abortion related care such as pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, contraception, counseling and follow-up care despite Indiana's near-total abortion ban.

Indiana abortion care providers are trying to stop the states near-total abortion ban from taking effect.

The Whole Woman's Health Clinic in South Bend -- the only one in Michiana that provides abortions -- will close next month when Indiana's new abortion ban takes effect.

Several major Indiana abortion laws were struck down in federal court on Tuesday. The case was brought by the Whole Woman's Health Alliance, which operates an abortion clinic in South Bend.

Attorney General Curtis Hill wants the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether a South Bend clinic that performs abortions will stay open.

A recently-opened South Bend clinic that performs abortions gets to stay open after a federal appeals court ruling issued Thursday.

During the rally opposing the Whole Womans Health Alliance clinic, Attorney General Curtis Hill told a crowded church that he opposes abortion, but would remain objective.

U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker on Friday denied Attorney General Curtis Hill's request for an immediate stay to prevent the clinic from opening until Indiana's appeal is considered.

The federal lawsuit comes after the Indiana State Department of Health denied the Alliances original application.
