Indiana's restrictive abortion law takes effect

An Indiana law prohibiting abortions at all stages of pregnancy except in limited circumstances has taken effect.

The legislation, which was the first restrictive abortion law to pass in June after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, provides exemptions in cases of rape or incest, to save the mother’s life or prevent serious health risk, and with fetal anomalies up to 20 weeks post-fertilization.
