| Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita (R) |
The US Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade allowed Rokita to file a motion to lift the injunction. The district
court's decision can be read

Dismemberment abortions, otherwise known as dilation and evacuation (d&e)
abortions, are especially violent. Such abortions require an abortionist to reach into
the mother's womb with metal instruments and tear individual body parts from
the unborn child's body. The abortion is complete when all body parts have been ripped from the child and removed from the mother's womb. The child dies due to blood loss.
“The court’s ruling this week vacating its earlier injunction that permitted
this gruesome procedure to continue is an exciting battle victory in our war
to defend the unborn and protect women,” Attorney General Rokita said. “My
office will continue to take all necessary steps to limit abortion, assist
mothers, empower families to choose life, and ultimately protect the lives of
the unborn.”
