A federal judge temporarily blocked an Indiana abortion law, which would require doctors to inform patients of a disputed treatment for potentially stopping an abortion process. On Wednesday, the district judge ruled pro-choice groups challenging the law had a “reasonable likelihood of success” in regards to their claim the law violated clinic’s rights to free speech.
The abortion reversal law was halted by U.S. District Court Judge James Patrick Hanlon just one day before it was set to go into effect. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Eric Holcomb (R-Ind.) in April. Hanlon stated the state of Indiana failed to prove an abortion reversal for medication abortions was effective and safe.
