Federal Judge Hears Arguments on Indiana Abortion Law

A federal judge in Evansville is weighing whether to block a new Indiana law. It requires medical providers to give the state details about women they treat for abortion complications.

Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky is seeking a preliminary injunction to block two provisions of the law before it takes effect July 1st.

The judge heard arguments from both sides Friday but did not make a decision
