Indiana pro-life advocates got good news from a recent Indiana Health Department report, which showed just 22 abortions in the previous quarter, confirming the state’s abortion ban is indeed saving babies.
The Indiana Department of Health’s official Terminated Pregnancy Report for January through March 2025, released on Saturday, reveals a reported total of 22 children killed by abortion over the three month span, compared to 45 abortions reported over the first three months of 2024.

By comparison, in 2022, the last full year before Indiana’s new abortion law went into effect, there were a reported 2,286 children killed by abortion in Indiana, according to Indiana Right to Life – which furnished the stats to LifeNews.com
Not all of those more than 2,200 abortions are cases where the baby is saved from certain death as many women turn to the abortion pill or travel to other states for abortions. But certainly some babies who might have otherwise been killed in an abortion are alive today thanks to the Hoosier State’s pro-life laws.
The pro-life group did have concerns about the data.
“Deep concern remains, however, over incomplete data reported by hospitals and the continued lack of access for public review of properly redacted abortion report forms, a matter over which Voices for Life has brought suit,” it told LifeNews.
The IDOH report notes:
“Two terminated pregnancy reports were submitted to the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) through the electronic reporting system, as required by Ind. Code § 16-34-2-5.5. Additionally, there were 20 incomplete reports submitted via email. Eleven were from Indiana University Health and nine were from an unknown Indiana hospital. While these reports confirmed that a terminated pregnancy occurred in Indiana among Indiana resident mothers during Q1 of 2025, they did not include the complete set of required data elements specified under Ind. Code § 16-34-2-5.”
Meanwhile, complications from the dangerous abortion pill are still a problem in Indiana.
Also released on May 31 is the Indiana Department of Health’s Terminated Pregnancy Complications Report showing 20 complications reports filed in the first three months of 2025. According to the report, 13 complications were from chemically-induced abortions compared to 7 surgical abortions. Nine of these complications were reported to be associated with the drugs Mifepristone and Misoprostol. By far the largest age group from which complications were reported are women 25-34 years-old.
The report lists the complications including infection, vaginal bleeding, pelvic inflammatory disease, and the largest “complication” by far (12 of the reported total) as “Incomplete Abortion (Retained Products of Conception”.
The report comes less than one week after spectators and participants of Indianapolis racing events over Memorial Day weekend were forced to view “Abortion Pills By Mail” flyover advertising. Indiana’s abortion complications report is certain to add weight to calls for the FDA to investigate the dangers of abortion drugs and to revoke its market approval.
