The legislation - one of the strictest in the nation-bans abortion except in cases of rape, incest, and to protect the life and physical health of the mother will now be put into place as soon as August 1, the ACLU of Indiana said.

The Indiana Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the state's near-total abortion ban can take effect.

Plaintiffs, including Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers, filed the challenge saying that the abortion legislation criminalizes their work. Stopping the injunction would protect the providers from criminal and other penalties. They also said the law clashes with the state's constitution.

In the decision, Molter wrote that while the judges"recognize that many women view the ability to obtain an abortion as an exercise of their bodily autonomy," he wrote,"it does not follow that it is constitutionally protected in all circumstances."
