Indiana agrees to release abortion records, balancing transparency with patient privacy protections.

The settlement, following Governor Mike Braun's executive order, requires the department to release Terminated Pregnancy Reports while allowing some redactions to protect patient identities. Proponents say it ensures compliance with state laws, while critics argue it could lead to harassment of doctors and patients.
