Abortion Pills in Indiana: Accessing Care Despite the Ban

Indiana was the first state to pass a new abortion ban after Dobbs. The near-total ban has limited exceptions for rape/incest (up to ~12 weeks, requires notarized affidavit) and lethal fetal anomaly. All free-standing abortion clinics have closed.

How Indiana Residents Access Care

Through telemedicine from shield law states:

• Online consultation — 15-20 minutes, 24/7
• Medical review — within one business day, through 13 weeks
• Medication shipped — 2-5 business days, discreet packaging
• Cost: Sliding scale $1 - $150

Indiana is close to Ohio and Illinois (both legal), but telemedicine removes the need to travel, take time off work, or arrange childcare.

Delivery

• Indianapolis/Fort Wayne/Evansville: 2-4 days
• South Bend/Bloomington/Lafayette: 2-4 days
• Muncie/Terre Haute/Kokomo: 3-5 days

About Indiana's Rape/Incest Exception

Indiana's exception requires a notarized affidavit and care must be provided in a hospital — barriers many people can't navigate. Telemedicine offers a more accessible and private option.

Safety

FDA-approved since 2000. 95-98% effective. Patients are not criminally targeted.
