Note to the Press: Please include the following statement from State Rep. Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville) in your coverage of the U.S. District Court’s preliminary injunction on House Enrolled Act 1211, authored by Mayfield:
STATEHOUSE (July 1, 2019) – “I’m disappointed the judge issued an injunction on a portion of the new law that would stop dismemberment abortions in the second trimester. I support the attorney general’s recent indication that the state will appeal this ruling. There are still portions of the law that do go into effect today, which includes added reporting requirements of abortion complications. This will help provide the State Department of Health and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with the most comprehensive and medically accurate data on the risks involved in these procedures. This is one more effort to protect the health and safety of Hoosier women and their unborn children.”
