We are taking the necessary steps to make sure those laws are properly implemented.\u201d &#8211; Governor Mike Braun<\/p>\n<p>Aligned with his constitutional mandate to faithfully execute Indiana\u2019s laws, Governor Mike Braun signed Executive Order 25-20, which in part commissioned an evaluation of how Indiana\u2019s pro-life policies are being implemented.<\/p>\n<p>The report outlines how the Indiana Department of Health is implementing Indiana\u2019s laws, and also identifies areas for policy change to ensure full compliance.<\/p>\n<p>The report also outlines public transparency measures related to Terminated Pregnancy Reports, or TPRs, which offer insight into abortion trends and compliance by providers while protecting patient confidentiality. Indiana\u2019s laws requires that health care providers must submit a TPR to the Indiana Department of Health each time an abortion is performed, intended both to compile important data about maternal health which can be used to improve women\u2019s health policies, and also to ensure compliance with Indiana law.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/docs\/State_of_Indiana\/Governor\/2025\/2025_07_02_Implementation_of_Indiana_Pro-Life_Laws.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to read the full report<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/zoeller_greg.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller.
