A New Orleans based state district judge has temporarily lifted Louisiana’s abortion ban.
Following a request for emergency relief from the state’s trigger laws from the Hope Medical Group for Women, a Shreveport abortion clinic, Kathaleen Pittman, its administrator and Medical Students for Choice, the judge offered a temporary restraining order on the ban.
A hearing for July 8 has been set on the merits of the base.
Pittman told the Louisiana Illuminator that her clinic plans to begin offering the procedure again Tuesday.
