Supreme Court reversed the nearly 50-year-old Roe v. The suit, filed by Hope Medical Group for Women, Pittman and Medical Students for Choice, a New Orleans-based group, was originally filed in Orleans Parish.Ī previous restraining order, implemented just days after the U.S. It is likely to stand at least until Monday, when the case will be heard on its merits in East Baton Rouge Civil Court. The order is the latest development in the back-and-forth legal battle between abortion providers and state enforcement. The people of Louisiana have spoken both directly at the ballot box and through their elected legislature again and again and again – not only statutorily but also constitutionally. Landry added that “any society that places themselves before their children (the future) does not last.” Unfortunately, we will have to wait a little bit longer for that to happen.”
“The rule of law must be followed, and I will not rest until it is. “The people of Louisiana have spoken both directly at the ballot box and through their elected legislature again and again and again – not only statutorily but also constitutionally,” Landry said in a tweet. Landry took to Twitter to share his disappointment in the ruling. Kathaleen Pittman, director of Hope Medical Group for Women, a Shreveport-based abortion clinic, said that the clinic would begin offering abortions immediately.
The law prohibits abortion in all cases except to save the life of the mother or if the fetus has a condition incompatible with life outside the womb. Judge Don Johnson issued the temporary restraining order Tuesday in 19th Judicial District Court, prohibiting Attorney General Jeff Landry and Louisiana Department of Health Secretary Courtney Phillips from enforcing the state’s abortion ban. Louisiana officials have once again been restrained from enforcing the state’s stringent abortion ban, this time by a state judge in Baton Rouge.
