Indiana Attorney General’s Office appeals religious freedom ruling on state abortion ban - WPTA | 21Alive | Fort Wayne, IN

mean to the very binary proposition of carrying a fetus to term or not. The judge made an existing temporary injunction permanent and said it also applies to others in Indiana whose religious beliefs call for an abortion. “Today’s ruling is a recognition that religious freedom protects people of many faiths and beliefs, not just those favored by the state,” said Stevie Pactor, senior staff attorney at the ACLU of Indiana. “For more than three years, our clients have challenged a law that forces them to choose between their faith and their autonomy. This decision makes it clear that Indiana cannot enforce its abortion ban in ways that violate their religious freedom.”
