Groups unsure whether ruling impacts Indiana abortion laws

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Groups on both sides of the debate say they're reviewing the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against Texas' regulation of abortion clinics to see whether it could impact similar Indiana laws.

Indiana Right to Life President Mike Fichter says the court "showed an utter disregard for women's health" with Monday's decision striking down Texas' requirements that doctors performing abortions have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and clinics to meet hospital-like standards for outpatient surgery.

Indiana law says doctors performing abortions must have hospital-admitting privileges, but lets them reach an agreement with another doctor who does.

Indiana Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Ali Slocum says the group is first awaiting a federal judge's ruling expected this week on whether to block a new Indiana law banning abortions sought because of a fetus' genetic abnormalities.
