Case Summary

This case concerns a constitutional challenge to Indiana’s state laws on tissue disposition which require healthcare facilities to dispose of embryonic and fetal tissue from an abortion or miscarriage management procedure like that of a person’s remains (i.e., cremation or interment). On December 21, 2020, plaintiffs — a group of private individuals who had an aspiration abortion and healthcare professionals — filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Southern District of Indiana.

This case concerns a constitutional challenge to Indiana’s state laws on tissue disposition which require healthcare facilities to dispose of embryonic and fetal tissue from an abortion or miscarriage management procedure like that of a person’s remains (i.e., cremation or interment). On December 21, 2020, plaintiffs — a group of private individuals who had an aspiration abortion and healthcare professionals — filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Southern District of Indiana. Under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the plaintiffs sued the State of Indiana, Marion County, the Indiana Department of Health, as well as the state’s Medical Licensing Board and Board of Nursing. Represented by The Lawyering Project and Yale Law School’s Reproductive Rights and Justice Project Clinic, the plaintiffs sought to enjoin Indiana’s tissue disposition laws, a declaration that the disposition laws were unconstitutional, and an award of attorney’s fees. Plaintiffs claimed that the tissue disposition laws violated both the First and Fourteenth Amendments by compelling abortion and miscarriage patients to act in compliance with the state’s views of personhood, regardless of their personal or religious beliefs. An amended complaint soon followed on May 6, 2021, removing one of the healthcare provider plaintiffs.

Indiana originally enacted the tissue disposition laws in 2014, giving miscarriage patients the right to arrange a burial or cremation following pregnancy loss. This was expanded to abortion patients in 2015. In 2016, and again in 2020, Indiana adopted requirements that prohibited standard medical disposition of embryonic and fetal tissue as an option for healthcare facilities. Rather, the new versions of the tissue disposition laws mandated that patients cremate or inter the tissue, making it more burdensome for patients to choose a disposition method that does not signify personhood. The laws further required abortion and miscarriage patients to receive mandatory counseling regarding their disposition options, though ultimately misleading patients that their only options are burial or cremation, rather than medical waste disposal. Plaintiffs contended that the disposition laws a) violated the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by imposing an undue burden on access to abortion and miscarriage treatment services; b) violated the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth amendment by treating patients and healthcare providers seeking to dispose of human tissue from abortion or miscarriage management procedures differently from those seeking to dispose of human tissue from IVF or other surgical procedures; c) violated the Free Speech clause of the First Amendment by coercing patients and medical providers in engaging in speech and expressive conduct to which they object; and d) violated the Establishment and Free Exercise clauses of the First Amendment by advancing and coercing patients and providers to advance a religious belief regarding personhood. 

The case was assigned to Magistrate Judge Mark J. Dinsmore. The case before the court is related to Planned Parenthood of Ind. & Ky., Inc. v. Comm'r of Ind. State Dep't of Health, which challenged the 2016 version of the disposition laws. 

Following the close of discovery, the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment on January 7, 2022 and defendants filed a cross motion for summary judgment on February 18, 2022. On September 26, 2022 the District Court granted in part and denied in part both the motion and cross motion. First, the District Court held that Plaintiffs’ sincere religious and moral beliefs that fetal tissue is not equivalent to a person and should be disposed of as medical waste were burdened by the laws, violating the Free Exercise clause. Second, the District Court found that treating fetal tissue as medical waste is expressive conduct that receives First Amendment protection. By compelling the plaintiffs to show respect to fetal tissue that they do not want to respect, while also prohibiting them from speaking their message, Judge Dinsmore held that the fetal disposition requirements offended the Free Speech Clause. Third, since the fetal disposition and disclosure requirements did not establish any religion, the District Court held that the laws did not violate the Establishment Clause. Fourth, given the Supreme Court’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the District Court held the laws did not violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Finally, the Court held there was no equal protection violation because the fetal disposition and disclosure requirements did not distinguish or exclude based on the exercise of a fundamental right. As a result, the District Court enjoined the fetal disposition laws from being administered in the state. 630 F.Supp.3d 1033. 

Four days later, the Defendants appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The Seventh Circuit outright reversed the District Court’s decision to grant a preliminary injunction, with instruction to dismiss the suit with prejudice. The Appellate Court held that there were no violations to the First Amendment for the Indiana laws do not require any woman who has obtained an abortion to violate any belief nor do they require any woman to speak or engage in expressive conduct. 54 F.4th 518. 

On January 6, 2023, per the Seventh Circuit’s instructions, the District Court vacated the injunction and dismissed the suit with prejudice.  On March 30, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a writ of certiorari at the U.S. Supreme Court, but the writ was denied on May 1, 2023. 143 S.Ct. 2437. The case is closed.

[Dkt. 27 .] The Court is disinclined to enlarge the deadlines to respond to a motion that has not even been filed. Accordingly, the parties' motion [Dkt. 29 ] is DENIED. The Court and parties can discuss any possible enlargement of time to respond to such motion, once filed, during the April 15, 2021 initial pretrial conference.

ORDER ON UNOPPOSED MOTION TO ADD AND DISMISS PARTIES - This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs' Unopposed Motion to Add and Dismiss Parties [Dkt. 39 ]. Plaintiffs report that one of the Plaintiffs, Cassie Herr, N.P., wishes to dismiss her claims in this case and that Plaintiffs wish to "add the Individual Members of the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana in their official capacities and the Individual Members of the Indiana State Board of Nursing in their official capacities as defendants" in this case. Id. However, Plaintiffs do not identify the individual board members whom she wishes to sue. In any event, the Court finds that the most appropriate way to accomplish what Plaintiffs wish to accomplish is for Plaintiffs to file an amended complaint that omits Ms. Herr as a plaintiff and adds the board members as defendants. Accordingly, Plaintiffs' motion is GRANTED IN PART, in that Plaintiffs are granted leave to file such an amended complaint within seven days of the date of this Order. Plaintiffs may simply file the amended complaint; it need not be accompanied by a motion for leave. The Clerk is directed to terminate Cassie Herr, N.P. as a Plaintiff if she is not included in the amended complaint. Signed by Magistrate Judge Mark J. Dinsmore on 5/4/2021.
