<\/div>

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt has set November 9 as the date for a hearing on Indiana’s recently enacted requirement that women seeking abortions undergo an ultrasound at least 18 hours beforehand.<\/p>\n

The requirement (part of a broader pro-life law<\/a> signed by Governor Mike Pence in March) took effect on July 1. The new hearing date was delayed from October 28, at the behest of Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood of Kentucky and Indiana filed a lawsuit<\/a> claiming it was unconstitutional, because the added cost and time of potentially having to make two trips would constitute a de facto obstacle on the “right” to abortion.<\/p>\n

However, ultrasounds are already routine<\/a> in most abortions, casting suspicion on the claim. Further, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey<\/em>, the Supreme Court upheld<\/a> the constitutionality of 24-hour waiting periods as \u201crationally further[ing] the State\u2019s legitimate interest in maternal health and in unborn life.\u201d<\/p>\n

If abortion advocates succeed in striking down the law, it would not necessarily eliminate the ultrasound requirement entirely; the law could simply revert to the previous status quo where ultrasounds were required before abortions without a specific time frame mandated by law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
