A Louisiana Judge in New Orleans, issued a Temporary Restraining Order Monday, Blocking Officials from Enforcing the State’s Newly activated Abortion Ban, Restoring access to the Procedure until further notice.
New Orleans Civil District Judge Robin Giarrusso, put a Hold on the Ban, while she weighs a Lawsuit brought by a Group of Abortion Providers and Reproductive Rights organizations fighting Louisiana’s New Abortion Crackdown, which went into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade last week.
Monday’s ruling means Abortions may Resume at Louisiana’s Three last Abortion Clinics, which had been forced to immediately Cease providing the Procedure when the Supreme Court issued its ruling on Friday.
Hope Medical Group for Women in Shreveport, is One of the Plaintiffs that Sued to Block Louisiana's Abortion Ban. The Others are located in Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
“People who need an abortion right now are in a state of panic,” Nancy Northup, President and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, One of the Plaintiffs, said in a statement. “We will be fighting to restore access in Louisiana and other states for as long as we can. Every day that a clinic is open and providing abortion services can make a difference in a person’s life.”
Kathaleen Pittman, Administrator of the Hope Medical Group for Women, another Plaintiff, added: “We are committed to this monumental legal challenge — not to perpetuate an endless political battle, but to ensure our patients’ wellbeing and so that they may draw strength from our dedication to this fight.”
The Judge has set another Hearing for July 8th.
