Abortion Laws in Indiana

Abortion policies currently in effect in Indiana include the following:

  • Abortion is completely banned with very limited exceptions

  • Patients forced to make two trips—one for in-person counseling and another at least 18 hours later for the abortion

  • Patients forced to get an ultrasound even if medically unnecessary

  • State Medicaid coverage of abortion care is banned except in very limited circumstances

  • Private health insurance of abortion is banned except in very limited circumstances

  • Medication abortion must be provided in person because state bans the use of telehealth or requires in-person visit

  • Parental consent is required for a minor's abortion

  • Only physicians can provide abortions and not other qualified health care professionals

  • Medication abortion is restricted through unnecessary regulations

  • Unnecessary regulations are in force and designed to shutter abortion clinics without basis in medical standards
