Amicus Brief: Jane Doe, Petitioners v. Attorney General of Indiana

May 1, 2023

In May 2023, LRRP filed an amicus brief at the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of 28 religious and secular groups and individuals, supporting patients who challenged Indiana's law requiring that fetal tissue be buried or cremated after a miscarriage or abortion. The brief argued that the law burdens free exercise by pressuring patients to accept an end-of-life ritual that carries religious meaning many of them reject. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
