Editorial: Indiana’s existing abortion laws are in sync with moderate Hoosiers. Leave well enough alone

Anyone seeking an abortion in Indiana faces a variety of hurdles.

The procedure requires two trips: one for mandatory counseling and the other for the abortion itself. Women cannot be more than 22 weeks pregnant and still get a legal abortion, nor can minors easily get the procedure without parental consent.

The state bans the use of telehealth for anything to do with abortions and also restricts the mailing of abortion medication without an in-person visit. Insurance coverage for abortions, whether public or private, is nearly impossible to obtain. That’s far from the entire list of barriers facing women in the Hoosier state.
