Indianapolis – Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky (PPINK) celebrates the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision today in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt – it is a positive advancement for Hoosier women as well as for women nationwide.

“Abortion providers are often the target of unfair legislation, and we’re no exception,” PPINK President and CEO Betty Cockrum said. “It’s a major victory for the Supreme Court to acknowledge that such legislation interferes with women’s legal right to abortion, and sets a good precedent for our work in Indiana and Kentucky.”

The decision struck down two requirements in Texas’s HB 2, ruling that requirements regarding admitting privileges for abortion doctors and facility specifications are an undue burden on women seeking abortions.

This decision offers encouragement in an environment of relentless legislative efforts to reduce access to safe, legal abortions in this country.
