The Planned Parenthood abortion business is not happy that it can’t kill babies in the Hoosier State, So it’s asking an Indiana judge to water down the state’s abortion ban so it can resume ending human lives for profit.
Indiana law already allows abortions if a mother’s life is at risk and it allows care for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. But the abortion giant wants abortions allowed for nebulous “health” reasons – which can be declared anything – thus allowing unlimited abortions.

Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers are asking a Monroe County judge for a preliminary injunction expanding the medical exemptions and blocking the hospital-only requirement. The bench trial before special Judge Kelsey Blake Hanlon is scheduled for Wednesday through Friday.
The Indiana Supreme Court upheld the ban in June, ending a broader legal challenge brought by the same plaintiffs, but said the state’s constitution protects a women’s right to an abortion when her life or health is at risk.

The challenge was filed in politically liberal Monroe County, home to Indiana University’s main campus, but Democratic judges handed off the case until it landed before Hanlon, a Republican elected in a neighboring conservative county.
Indiana became the first state that passed a law to protect unborn babies from abortion after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022. The pro-life law bans abortions with exceptions for rape, incest, fatal fetal anomalies and situations when the mother’s life is at risk.
Indiana Right to Life estimates the law will save as many as 150 unborn babies from abortion every week.
Polls consistently show a strong majority of Americans support legal protections for unborn babies, especially after the first trimester or once their heartbeat is detectable. And they show Americns support the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
