INDIANAPOLIS (AP): Indiana state Senate President David Long says he finds one part of the ruling that blocked a law banning abortions sought because of a fetus’ genetic abnormality “deeply troubling.”

The Fort Wayne Republican said in a statement Thursday that U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt equating “fetal remains with any other common medical waste is deeply troubling” and hopes that the court will change its mind.

Pratt ruled a day before the law was to go into effect that the state doesn’t have the authority to limit a woman’s reasons for ending a pregnancy.

Long also said that Indiana’s attorney general has said he’ll review Pratt’s decision to temporarily block the law before saying whether he’ll appeal.
