After the strict abortion laws that made it through state legislatures in Georgia and Alabama, among others, abortion legislation is on everyone’s mind. On Tuesday, as if on cue, the Supreme Court released an opinion about an abortion law from Indiana — but it’s a very different law than the strict bans that people across the country are currently protesting. Now you’ll need to know what Indiana’s fetal remains law is, because the Supreme Court just allowed it to go into effect.
Tuesday’s decision comes in reference to two abortion laws that Mike Pence signed while he was governor of Indiana, according to CNBC. One banned abortions on the basis of sex, race, or disability, which a lower court blocked; the Supreme Court declined to take up that element of the law, so the lower court’s ruling stands and the law remains blocked, according to CNN.
