The Supreme Court on Monday reversed an appeals court ruling striking down an Indiana abortion law governing the disposal of fetal remains, which was signed by Vice President Mike Pence when he was governor of the state. The law, among other provisions, barred the incineration of fetal remains alongside surgical byproducts.
The court declined to take up a second case involving so-called "discriminatory" abortions.
The U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down that law, which barred abortions sought because of the fetus's expected race or disability status. The court's order on Monday will keep the law from being enforced, though the justices did not take a position on the constitutionality of the regulation.
