“As the fight over abortion rights shifted to courthouses around the country on Monday, Louisiana took center stage, when abortion providers successfully won a temporary injunction by challenging the state’s ‘trigger’ ban and clinics announced they would resume procedures in the coming days,” the New Orleans Times Picayune reports.
“The clinics in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport shut their doors on Friday after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that established the constitutional right to abortion. The high court’s ruling paved the way for Louisiana to immediately enact a dormant set of laws banning both surgical and medication abortions, without exception for cases of rape or incest.”
