The ACLU of Indiana and Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging Indiana's abortion law.
The lawsuit, which was filed in Monroe County Circuit Court in Bloomington,violates an individual's right to privacy and equal privilege protections as outlined in the state constitution.
"Deeply private, personal, and unique decisions about reproductive health should be made by women in consultation with their doctors," said Ken Falk, legal director of the ACLU of Indiana."Whether Indiana elected officials personally agree with abortion access or not, it is not up to the government to make these decisions for Hoosiers.”
Plaintiffs in the case include Planned Parenthood of Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, a group which operates four out-patient clinics in Indiana that provide about half of the abortions in the state; Whole Woman's Health Alliance, which runs an abortion clinic in South Bend; Women's Med Group, which has a clinic in Indianapolis; and All-Options Inc., a pregnancy resource center based in Bloomington.
The suit names as defendants the state's Medical Licensing Board and prosecutors in seven counties that currently have clinics where abortions are performed, including Hendricks, Lake, Marion, Monroe, St. Joseph, Tippecanoe, and Warrick counties.
