Judge Kelsey Hanlon on Thursday rejected a request by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana to block the enforcement of Indiana’s new near-total ban on abortions.

Judge Hanlon denied a request for a temporary restraining order that would have kept the law, which went into effect at midnight, from taking effect.

A hearing on a preliminary injunction that would also prevent enforcement remains scheduled for Monday in Monroe County.
