INDIANAPOLIS (CN) A federal lawsuit challenging a new abortion law claims that forcing doctors to inform patients about a controversial abortion reversal procedure is unconstitutional.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Indiana, seeks to halt HB 1577, which restricts access to telehealth services for abortion patients and requires doctors to inform patients about a disputed procedure that is claimed to stop medication-induced abortions.
A medication abortion is administered through the taking of two drugs known as mifepristone and misoprostol, 24 to 48 hours apart. If successful, the medications will terminate a pregnancy.
