Staff at Louisiana's abortion clinics spent Monday calling patients to cancel procedures and direct them to resources in other states as Louisiana's near total abortion ban is once-again in effect.
For weeks, access to abortion in Louisiana has been flickering — with the state’s three clinics relying on rulings and temporary restraining orders, that allowed them to continue operations. But procedures came to a screeching halt Friday afternoon after an appeals courtthat Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry can enforce the ban while ongoing legal challenges play out in court.
“Once again, politics has superseded medical expertise and commonsense,” Amy Irvin, a spokeswoman for abortion clinics in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, said Monday. “We remain hopeful that the Court will ultimately act with compassion and empathy on behalf of women seeking abortion in Louisiana.”Staff at the clinics in southern Louisiana were working to notify 120 patients, scheduled for appointments this week, about the ban being enforced once again.
