Indianapolis – In response to the U.S. District Court’s preliminary injunction issued today prohibiting the state from enforcing certain provisions of House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1337, Kara Brooks, spokeswoman for Governor Mike Pence, issued the following statement:

“While disappointed in today’s ruling, Governor Pence remains steadfast in his support for the unborn, especially those with disabilities. The Governor will continue to stand for the sanctity of human life in all stages, for the compassionate and safe treatment of women faced with an enormously difficult decision, and for the rights of citizens to determine appropriate medical safety standards and procedures through their elected representatives. While the judicial process continues, the Governor remains focused on growing the already robust Hoosier economy and providing a world class education for all our children.”
