INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Two Indiana abortion providers filed a lawsuit in Marion County to stop the Indiana Department of Health from releasing individual terminated pregnancy reports.
Last week, the state agency settled with an anti-abortion group and agreed to make the records public after halting the practice last year. The reports include information about the procedure itself but also direct abortion providers to collect patient data, including their medical history and demographics.
Caitlin Bernard and Caroline Rouse, both licensed OBGYN physicians, urged the Marion County Superior Court to enter a temporary restraining order that would block the health department from releasing the records. The court set a hearing for tomorrow, Feb. 11.
