Indiana abortion-inducing drug ban passes Senate, heads to House

Legislation that would let anyone sue over the illegal use of abortion-inducing drugs in Indiana — with the potential to earn at least $100,000 a pop — cleared the Senate in a 35-10 vote, largely along party lines.

Bill Would Tighten Indiana’s Abortion Laws

The Indiana Senate moved to tighten the state’s strict abortion laws Tuesday afternoon, passing a bill aimed at stopping the illegal distribution of abortion-inducing drugs by mail. The bill cleared the chamber on a 35-10 vote and now heads to the House for consideration. The legislation targets the growing “gray market” of medication abortions, which advocacy groups claim has surged since Indiana’s near-total abortion ban took effect in 2022.
