State Judge Rules on Medical Privacy Rights
The Indiana State Constitution protects a woman’s right to privacy when seeking to have an abortion according to an appeals court. The ruling did not address the core of the case, which challenged state legal requirements for those seeking abortions. The law requires that women seeking abortions must first receive counseling about risks as well as options, and wait 18 hours before having the procedure.
