A state trial court in Indiana has blocked the enforcement of an abortion law that violates the religious beliefs of a certified class who prioritize a pregnant person’s health over that of a zygote, embryo, or fetus.

The court ruled that the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act prohibits laws that interfere with religious beliefs without a compelling interest.

The ruling, a win for reproductive rights advocates, rejected a law based on a concept of personhood not shared by all religions. The plaintiffs, including Hoosier Jews for Choice, argued that the law violated their religious freedom by restricting access to abortions sought as a religious exercise.

The court’s decision permanently blocks the law’s enforcement and affirms the class’s standing to bring the suit.
