Nonprofit reapplies to open South Bend abortion clinic

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A nonprofit group denied a state license to open a South Bend abortion clinic has reapplied for one instead of challenging the decision in court.

The South Bend Tribune reports Texas-based Whole Woman's Health Alliance reapplied for the license Thursday, avoiding what it feared would be a lengthy legal battle.

An Indiana State Department of Health administrative panel voted 2-1 in November to reject the nonprofit's request to open an abortion clinic, saying necessary information wasn't disclosed on its initial application in October 2017.
