Indiana abortion law signed by Mike Pence ruled unconstitutional

Washington (CNN)A federal appeals court has ruled that an Indiana abortion law signed by Vice President Mike Pence when he served as the state's governor is unconstitutional.

The legislation, signed by Pence in March 2016, imposed restrictions on a woman's ability to seek an abortion, including in cases where the child would be born with a disability.

The 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals issued its ruling on the law Thursday. Judge William Bauer wrote in the decision that provisions in the law that bar women from seeking abortions in certain cases "clearly violate" what he described as "well-established Supreme Court precedent, and are therefore, unconstitutional."
The ruling upholds an earlier federal court decision.
