Fact Sheet: McCormick Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan

The McCormick-Goodin Commonsense Abortion Rights Plan will protect abortion rights for Hoosiers, even in the absence of legislative action. Acknowledging the legislative hurdles, McCormick outlined several executive actions that can be taken to protect reproductive rights and access in Indiana:

  • Direct the Indiana Department of Health to interpret existing laws in a way that maximizes legal access to abortion services. By clarifying regulations, McCormick will work to reduce barriers that clinics and providers face.

  • Reproductive health funding will be prioritized in the state budget, ensuring women have the necessary support to access a full range of reproductive health services.

  • Shift focus from enforcement to compliance assistance for clinics and providers, creating a more supportive regulatory environment.

  • Appoint abortion rights supporters to relevant state boards and commissions, including the Medical Licensing Board, to ensure the state's policy implementation aligns with trusting women and healthcare providers.

  • Fight to protect the privacy of Hoosiers’ medical records from prying government officials, including terminated pregnancy reports.

  • Use the governor’s office as a platform to defend abortion rights and inform Hoosiers of their reproductive freedoms.

Additionally, McCormick will push for legislative change to create citizen-led ballot initiatives to allow the people to repeal Indiana’s extreme abortion ban directly.
