White House criticizes Indiana for approving abortion ban

Washington, August 6 (UNI) White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Saturday criticized the Indiana state authorities for approving the first abortion ban in the United States and called on the US Congress to immediately restore the law protecting women’s reproductive rights.
In late June, the US Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion, providing states with the opportunity to ban the procedure individually. Indiana on Friday became the first state that approved abortion restrictions starting September 15.
Exemptions would be permitted in cases of rape, incest, or to protect the life and physical health of a mother, or in cases when a fetus is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly.
