Resource: Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai’i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, Inc. v. Members of the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana, in their official capacities (Indiana)

This lawsuit challenges Indiana’s abortion ban (S.B.1), the first ban passed by a state legislature following the reversal of Roe v. Wade in June 2022. The law imposes felony-level criminal penalties on providers who violate the law. It also eliminates licensed abortion clinics, where the vast majority of abortions in Indiana currently occur, forcing any Hoosiers who qualify for the exceedingly narrow exceptions to the ban to access abortion care in a hospital, which is neither affordable nor accessible for most patients.
