Indiana's abortion ban put on hold again

Today was the day a ban on most abortions was scheduled to take effect, but it's been put on hold again.

A lawsuit filed by the Indiana ACLU has put the law in legal limbo while the state's Supreme Court considers the newest court challenge.

Indiana's law would prohibit abortions with a few exceptions.

Those exceptions include a pregnancy that endangers the health or life of the mother, a fatal health issue with the baby up to 20 weeks post-fertilization, and in cases of rape or incest, but only up to 10 weeks.

The new law also bans any abortion from being performed at an abortion clinic. If a pregnancy meets the guidelines for an exception, it must be performed at a hospital, or a surgical center owned by a hospital.

The Indiana Legislature passed the new abortion law last August and Governor Holcomb signed it into law.  There were a couple of lawsuits that halted the ban along the way, but then the Indiana Supreme Court ruled last month that the ban did not violate the state's constitution.

Now the abortion law is back in the courts.
