The Indiana Supreme Court is weighing whether to take a case that could dramatically limit which public records are available to citizens under the state’s Access to Public Records Act (APRA).

The Indiana Department of Health asked a judge to throw out a lawsuit over access to terminated pregnancy reports. Arguments largely centered on the state's definition of a medical record.

An anti-abortion group is suing the Indiana Department of Health over its decision to stop sharing individual terminated pregnancy reports which the group says violates Indiana’s public records law. The state argues the reports fit the definition of medical records, which are exempt. Oral arguments on the state’s motion to dismiss will be heard Friday in Marion County.
