The Center for Reproductive Rights said a judge on Tuesday awarded it a temporary restraining order against the state’s so-called trigger bans until Monday morning when there is another hearing scheduled in this lengthening legal saga that began late last month with the Supreme Court overturning the 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling.
Louisiana is one of 13 Republican-led states to pass so-called trigger bans on abortion in anticipation of the high court throwing out federal protections for abortion — which it did late last month.
When that occurred, abortions were immediately prohibited without exception in the Pelican State, attracting a lawsuit from the Center for Reproductive Rights whose lawyers argue the bans are unconstitutionally vague.
Days later on June 27, a state court sided with the center and blocked the state’s three trigger laws from going into effect, again permitting abortions to be performed in Louisiana.
The state then asked the Louisiana Supreme Court for a stay on original ruling, which moved the case to a lower court.
