INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — A federal court has blocked an Indiana law that would have banned abortions based on disability, genetic anomaly, race or sex. Judge Tanya Walton Pratt said the law would have been inconsistent with the notion of a right rooted in privacy concerns and the right to make independent decisions.
If the law would have gone into effect, Indiana would have become the only state to ban abortions based on race, sex or suspected disabilities.
The Indiana Attorney General’s office is reviewing the injunction and determining the next course of action.
