Indiana House passes bill aimed at limiting use of abortion pill [View all]
(Reuters) - The Indiana House on Tuesday approved a bill requiring clinics that administer the so-called abortion pill to also have full surgical facilities, a move that would force Planned Parenthood to halt all abortion services at a central Indiana clinic.
Supporters say the bill protects women's health, but the president of Planned Parenthood of Indiana called the facility mandates for early-term abortions "regulation without reason."
The Senate has adopted a similar measure and would need to agree to some changes in wording before the bill is sent to Republican Governor Mike Pence for his signature.
Under the bill, Planned Parenthood of Indiana would have to upgrade its clinic in Lafayette to surgical standards or stop administering RU-486 to end early term pregnancy, President Betty Cockrum said.
