Indiana celebrated a major pro-life victory last month when Republican Governor Eric Holcomb <\/span>signed a bill<\/span><\/a> requiring doctors to inform women undergoing chemical abortions (the abortion pill) of the possibility of reversing the abortion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the bill has sparked outrage from pro-abortion groups who are now suing the state to block the new Indiana law.<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> lawsuit<\/span><\/a> filed with the U.S. District Court in Indianapolis refers to abortion pill reversal<\/a> as a \u201cbogus claim\u201d despite the fact that hundreds of women have claimed success using the procedure. The complaint also argues that the \u201csafety and efficacy of this experimental treatment is unknown.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The legislation also includes a provision that prohibits telehealth appointments for obtaining abortion-inducing drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The law is slated to go into effect in July. However, the plaintiffs are seeking a preliminary injunction against the law while the case proceeds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chemical abortion is a two-step process that involves taking two drugs over the course of several days. The first drug is mifepristone, which kills the preborn child by blocking progesterone, depriving the baby of nutrients. The second drug is misoprostol, which causes strong contractions, causing the mother to expel her dead child.<\/span><\/p>\n
