Federal judge blocks Indiana’s abortion law
Click here for reuse options!U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt granted a preliminary injunction sought by Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky, which argued that the new state law was unconstitutional and violated women’s rights. The law was due to go into effect on Friday.
The American Civil Liberties Union sued the state on behalf of Planned Parenthood.
“The United States Supreme Court has stated in categorical terms that a state may not prohibit any woman from making the ultimate decision to terminate her pregnancy before viability,” Pratt said in the court documents, which were reviewed by Reuters.
The office of Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said in a statement on Thursday that state lawyers would review Pratt’s ruling and decide if they would appeal the decision.

This jackass, was trying to prohibit abortion, in the instance that the child was going to be born with severe defects. If a person wants to have a baby with special needs, I say good for her. If a mother wants to abort, I say good for her. It is all a matter of choice.
