Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

SCOTUS Makes 2 Key Decisions on Indiana Abortion Laws

HeadlineMay 29, 2019

As states around the country ramp up their attacks on reproductive rights, the Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to rule on an Indiana law that would bar abortions based on the sex, race or disability of the fetus. The Supreme Court decision will keep in place a lower court’s injunction on the measure.

The Supreme Court, however, decided to allow Indiana’s so-called fetal burial law to go into effect, which stipulates that abortion clinics and providers must dispose of fetal remains either through burial or cremation. The measure was signed into law by then-Governor Mike Pence in 2016.
