Ninety-three of the abortions were performed due to lethal fetal anomaly; 40 were due to serious health risk or life of the mother and nine were due to rape or incest.
More than half were performed by using an abortion pill or intracardiac injections.The rest were surgical procedures.
In 2023, while the ban was partially in effect, there were a total of 4,579 abortions performed in Indiana. Before the ban was in effect in 2022, there were a total of 9,529 abortions.
Half of the women who obtained an abortion were between the ages of 25-3
