UPDATE — Louisiana’s abortion ban is back in effect after a judge lifted a temporary block on the state’s abortion trigger laws.
The Orleans Parish District Court granted the temporary restraining order (TRO) last week in response to a lawsuit filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of June Medical Services, which operates an abortion clinic in Shreveport. The suit challenges the abortion laws that went into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court effectively overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, leaving the decision up to states on whether to ban abortions.
In the original request for the TRO, CRR called the trigger laws “unconstitutionally vague.”
On Friday, Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge Ethel Simms Julien ruled the court challenge to the state’s trigger law must take place in East Baton Rouge Parish, not New Orleans.
Judge Ethel Simms Julien also chose to not extend the block that was allowing Louisiana’s abortion clinics to remain open. The state’s 3 abortion clinics must now close their doors until the case can be heard in Baton Rouge.
“I think today’s judge got it right,” said Landry in a post-hearing interview. “These folks have been venue shopping … This action will be brought into Baton Rouge. We certainly intend to continue to defend the laws of the state and to enforce these laws. … A law, a statute, is always presumed to be constitutional until a court rules otherwise.”
Mayor LaToya Cantrell commented on the judge’s decision, saying:
“Thanks to politically-motivated actions, the lives of women and the freedom of physicians have been placed in jeopardy. This ruling isn’t the end of the fight for our reproductive rights, it is only the beginning.”

didja see that it was a bizness, and not a real live human being, that brrouvht the suit?
tellls ya straighttt up ts all about the money!!
And selling baby parts is a big part of that sick business.
Now go back and prosecute every woman and every doctor who murdered a baby since 1973. The law was always in place. The supreme court only stopped states from prosecuting these murders.
It’s what the blue states are trying to do with guns.
Gotta treat them on their terms.
