in a recent interview. “It’s a deeply held conviction for me and for my family,” he said, citing religious beliefs. But in a twist of irony, a second judge blocked Indiana’s strict abortion ban on religious grounds late last week, based on a law Pence himself enacted as governor of the Hoosier state almost a decade ago.
Welch sided with the plaintiffs, saying in her decision that “undisputed evidence demonstrates, based on actual facts, that the Plaintiffs are suffering injury and altering their behavior at the current time solely because of” the state’s new abortion law. It represents the second time the abortion ban has been blocked by Indiana’s courts since it was signed into law in August.
