Abortion providers and a pregnancy resource center sought a preliminary injunction to broaden the scope of a health or life exception to Indiana’s near-total abortion ban and to expand the sites where the procedures can be performed. The ban outlaws abortion even in cases presenting a serious health risk and threatens providers with criminal and licensing penalties for providing care in such circumstances, the plaintiffs argued in an amended complaint filed in Monroe County, south of Indianapolis. The plaintiffs seek to expand the medical exception to the law and block its requirement that any abortions that do occur be provided at a hospital.
