Indiana court upholds abortion report confidentiality, protecting patient privacy post-2022 ban.
The Indiana Court of Appeals has ruled that abortion-related reports must remain confidential, upholding the state’s decision to stop releasing individual records after a near-total abortion ban took effect in 2022.
The court rejected arguments from anti-abortion group Voices for Life that the reports should be public, stating that even without names, the records are protected medical information akin to other confidential documents.
The ruling emphasizes patient privacy and the need to protect doctors’ ability to provide care, especially after an OB-GYN faced disciplinary action for discussing a sensitive case.
The state now releases only aggregated data, and the decision may be appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court.
