Recently the State of Louisiana had signed a new Abortion Law in response to the numerous other states recently passing their own abortion laws that have made it to the spotlight for being radically in favor of abortion up to the birth of the child. ( New York State Abortion Law http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/lawssrch.cgi?NVLWO: . Louisianas' new law essentially mimiced the Texas Abortion Law which was overruled as in violation of the " Whole Woman's Health " case.
But Louisiana was signing into Law ( 14:87, et seq. 40:1299.31 to 40.1299.35.18 ) that required Doctors to seek admitting privileges to local hospitals within 30 miles of their clinics. And had 45 days to seek these privileges to remain practicing. Opponents saw this as a major obstacle and direct violation of the law decided in " Whole Woman's Health vs. Hellerstedt ". And the State of Louisiana acknowledges that " If within the new law that the Doctors cannot obtain Admitting privileges the law would maybe violate Whole Woman's Health vs. Hellerstedt ". And the doctors would need to cease being Abortion providers.
After review and decision by the District Court the case has been pursued on to the Supreme Court of the United States. After being reviewed a " Stay " has been granted temporarily , stopping the Law from being implemented. Upon the timely submission of Petition for Writ of Certiorari the case will be then be heard and decided upon.
