A Louisiana Supreme Court ruling allowed the state's ban on almost all abortions to go into effect on Friday, after a series of court challenges by local abortion providers was moved to another jurisdiction.on June 24, Louisiana's trigger laws restrictions arguably went into automatic effect.
Since Orleans Parish Civil District Judge Robin Giarrusso's decision on June 27, two abortion clinics have continued to see patients in the state: Women's Health Care Center Delta Clinic of Baton Rouge and Hope Medical Group for Women. During the hearing, Attorney General Jeff Landry argued that the New Orleans Parish Civil District Court is not the appropriate venue to litigate the case. The court will now transfer the case to the 19 Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge.According to Julien's ruling in Friday's hearing, the case is now out of the jurisdiction of the New Orleans Parish Civil District Court, and the judge has no authority to extend the temporary restraining order blocking the state bans.
