INDIANAPOLIS — The Satanic Temple's lawsuit challenging Indiana's 2022 anti-abortion lawsuit was dismissed, according to the Indiana Attorney General's Office.
The Satanic Temple was arguing the law violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).
“This lawsuit was ridiculous on its face, but this court decision is important because it sustains a pro-life law that is constitutionally and legally sound,” Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “We Hoosiers continue to build a solid culture of life whether satanic cultists like it or not.”
Indiana passed the anti-abortion legislation after the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Abortions are allowed in cases of rape or incest up to 10 weeks.
They will also be allowed up to 20 weeks for fatal fetal anomalies or to protect the life of the mother. The law limits abortion care to hospitals only.
