Indiana Supreme Court will not rehear abortion case

The Indiana Supreme Court denied a request for a new hearing on the state’s abortion ban, the court announced Monday. The ban can now go into effect any day now.

Pro-choice advocates filed for the rehearing hours before the near-total ban was set to go into effect.

That filing kept the law from going into effect, but justices ruled a new hearing wasn’t necessary because they already ruled the ban is constitutional.

The ban will take effect as soon as the June 30 ruling is certified.
