The ACLU of Indiana's request comes after the high court ruled on June 30 that Indiana's Republican-backed ban doesn’t violate the state constitution. The ACLU of Indiana, representing Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinic operators, had challenged the constitutionality of the ban. The rehearing petition suggests that the court keep the previous injunction on hold for 60 to 90 days. The state’s ban will eliminate the licenses for all seven abortion clinics in the state and ban most abortions, even in the earliest stages of a pregnancy. Indiana’s abortion ban also faces a separate court challenge over claims it violates the state’s 2015 religious freedom law signed by GOP then-Gov.
