<p>INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana lawmakers have approved a bill requiring doctors to tell women undergoing drug-induced abortions about a disputed treatment that could stop the abortion process.</p>
<p>The Republican-dominated House voted 62-25 on Wednesday to give the measure final legislative approval, sending it to GOP Gov. Eric Holcomb for consideration. </p>
<p>Republican have pushed the bill, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/legislature-medication-abortion-indiana-bills-853a2aa23a2ae64c876152de3c5cde6c">despite objections that it would force doctors</a> to provide dubious information to their patients.</p>
<p>Supporters argue the requirement would ensure that women who take the first of the two drugs for a medication abortion and then change their minds about ending their pregnancies have information about stopping the process by taking a different drug.</p>
<p>Six states already have similar requirements in place, while laws in three other states — North Dakota, Oklahoma and Tennessee — have been blocked by legal challenges, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights.</p>
<p>The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, which has successfully sued to block several anti-abortion laws adopted by Indiana legislators over the past decade, has said the proposal “runs afoul of the Constitution.”</p>
