The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to a compromise on a restrictive Indiana abortion law that keeps the issue off its docket for now. The court said a part of the law dealing with disposal of the “remains” of an abortion could go into effect. The Indiana law at question was signed by Vice President Pence when he was governor of the state. Legislators say they hope the unprecedented restrictions would lead to a Supreme Court showdown over the right to abortion the court established in Roe v. Wade. But the compromise over the Indiana law indicated the court might proceed slowly.
