Louisiana judge temporarily blocks state from enforcing abortion ban for second time
CNN
Abortions are legal once again in Louisiana after a state court on Tuesday granted a temporary restraining order against the state's ban that took effect following the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The court order allows abortion services in the state to resume at least until July 18, when a hearing is set to consider whether a preliminary injunction should be issued.
It's just the latest legal twist for Louisiana's abortion ban, which was temporarily blocked last month by a state district judge. The state's attorney general asked the state Supreme Court to step in, and it kicked it back to the lower courts. There, a different judge, Ethel S. Julien, ruled Friday that the New Orleans court did not have the authority to pause the law as the case was transferred to a Baton Rouge state court. The move cleared the way for the state's trigger law to immediately take effect and blocked abortion clinics in the state from operating.
