Eli Lilly Speaks Out Against Indiana’s Ban on Most Abortions

Eli Lilly & Co. spoke out against Indiana’s new abortion law, saying the restrictions could hurt the pharmaceutical company’s ability to keep and attract employees and will lead it to plan more hiring outside the state.

The Saturday statement came after Indiana’s governor on Friday signed a near-total ban on abortions shortly after lawmakers approved it. The ban takes effect Sept. 15 and includes exceptions.
