The move comes as Indiana faces OB-GYN shortages and a near-total abortion ban.

Indianapolis Sen. Mike Young filed the bill. He has clashed with caucus leadership over Indiana’s abortion ban.

Indiana implemented its near-total abortion ban more than a year ago, but organizations like Planned Parenthood said the results of this year’s election could make accessing care even more difficult.

Hoosier Abbey Hall shared her abortion story — from conception to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Illinois — with the Indiana Capital Chronicle.

Planned Parenthood now offers gender-affirming hormone care, hair preservation, surgery coordination and other medical transition support.

Lawsuits against Indiana's near-total abortion ban have been ongoing since the law was passed in 2022.

Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai‘i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky; All-Options; and an Indianapolis-based OB-GYN brought the lawsuit.

Testimony Thursday expanded discussion on abortion access for patients with serious health risks due to "psychological or emotional conditions."

The amended lawsuit from a group of abortion providers seeks to “broaden and clarify” when an abortion is considered legal in Indiana.

The state has called the providers’ claims “vague and ambiguous” and denied that Indiana infringes on any constitutional rights. A three-day bench trial begins Wednesday.
