  • A temporary block of Indiana's near-total abortion ban will remain in place for just a few women who filed a religious freedom lawsuit challenging the law after a split Indiana Supreme Court chose not to hear an appeal in the case.

The Indiana Supreme Court has decided not to hear an appeal in a case challenging the state's near-total abortion ban, opting instead for a "wait-and-see" approach. This decision comes after a lower court issued a preliminary injunction against the ban, allowing abortions to continue while the case is further litigated. The case, brought by Planned Parenthood and other providers, argues that the ban violates the state constitution's privacy protections. The Supreme Court's choice to not intervene at this stage means that the current injunction remains in place, and abortions are still legal in Indiana as the legal proceedings continue. This approach suggests the court is waiting for more definitive legal arguments or outcomes before making a final ruling.
