Vice President Mike Pence may now live thousands of miles away from Indiana, but his home state is still reckoning with his legacy.

On Friday, a federal judge blocked an Indiana law requiring women seeking an abortion to get an ultrasound at least 18 hours before they undergo the procedure. The state failed to present “any convincing evidence” that the law did what the state said it did: preserve fetal life and women’s mental health by convincing them not to have an abortion, found U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt.

Pence signed the law, which had been in effect since July 2016, when he was still Indiana’s governor. It mandated that women in the state visit their abortion provider at least twice — once for an ultrasound and in-person counseling with state-mandated information about abortions, and once to obtain the abortion itself.
