WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court is upholding an Indiana law that requires abortion providers to dispose of aborted fetuses in the same way as human remains. The court split 7-2 in allowing Indiana to enforce the fetal remains measure that had been blocked by a federal appeals court. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago had blocked both provisions of a law signed by Vice-President Mike Pence in 2016 when he was Indiana’s governor. The court’s action Tuesday keeps it out of an election-year review of the Indiana law amid a flurry of new state laws that go the very heart of abortion rights. The law has yet to take effect and is being challenged in court.
