U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt issued a permanent injunction Friday, sought by Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky (PPINK) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), against a law that would have banned abortions that were solely based on a diagnosis of Down Syndrome or other genetic abnormalities.
The Indiana law, signed by then-Gov. Mike Pence in March 2016, said that “Indiana does not allow a fetus to be aborted solely because of the fetus's race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, or diagnosis or potential diagnosis of the fetus having Down syndrome or any other disability.”
