Federal court: Human life begins at conception

Judge places Indiana’s abortionist defunding provision on hold but agrees women can be told ‘human physical life’ begins at conception

INDIANAPOLIS — An order handed down by a federal court Friday temporarily suspends a provision of an Indiana law that defunds abortionist organizations like Planned Parenthood, but the order upheld a key provision that requires women to be informed that “human physical life begins when a human ovum is fertilized by a human sperm.”

The order explained that “the language crafted by the legislature in this provision supports a finding that the mandated statement refers exclusively to a growing organism that is a member of the Homo sapiens species.”

Subject:  Planned Parenthood of Indiana v. Commissioner of the Indiana State Department of Health
