Abortion Access in Indiana

Take action and learn more about abortion access in Indiana.

Abortion has been effectively banned in Indiana since August 21, 2023. The narrow exceptions included in this extreme ban will undoubtedly put Hoosiers’ lives at risk. Uncertainties surrounding the ban have already forced providers to stop providing most abortions in Indiana — even those that may be permitted by the ban’s extremely limited exceptions.

However, as a result of a lawsuit brought by the ACLU of Indiana, a permanent injunction has been issued, which restores abortion access to individuals whose religious beliefs direct them to obtain abortions that the statute bans. Anyone in Indiana needing representation on this issue is encouraged to reach out to ACLU of Indiana via email or online intake form.

We are continuing to fight in the courts and the Statehouse to reinstate access to abortion care, and we won't stop. Take action and learn more below.

Let's Talk About Abortion

The time is now for the majority of Hoosiers to express their support for access to safe and legal abortion.

We’ve all heard a lot from one side about what abortion is, isn’t, or shouldn’t be. That very vocal anti-abortion minority has drowned out the views of most Hoosiers.

Sincere conversations with people we trust and love are the best way to change opinions. Download the conversation guide, social media toolkit and more at LetsTalkAbortionIndiana.org.
