Indiana Supreme Court to Hear Religious Freedom Lawsuit Against Abortion Ban
The Indiana Supreme Court is set to hear a lawsuit challenging the state's near-total abortion ban on the grounds of religious freedom. The case, brought by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Indiana on behalf of Hoosier Jews for Choice and other plaintiffs, argues that the ban imposes a substantial burden on religious practices. The lawsuit leverages Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act to contest the ban, which allows abortions only in limited circumstances. The state attorney general's office has requested the case bypass the appeals court, with oral arguments scheduled for September 10.
