New Orleans abortion clinic closed, workers sent home after Roe v. Wade overturned

After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its Roe v. Wade decision on Friday, activists gathered outside New Orleans’ only abortion clinic as workers locked its doors for the last time.

Their reactions were visceral: A Tulane Law student worried that women’s rights were being systematically stripped away as a pastor praised the day that babies’ lives were saved.

And by 11 a.m., it was quiet again.

The Supreme Court’s decision ended constitutional protections for abortion that had existed for nearly 50 years. It is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half of the states, including Louisiana. The state’s three abortion clinics, including in Uptown New Orleans, were forced to shutter Friday.

By law I think they have no choice but to close. Abortion became illegal the moment the decision was released.

Why did the abortion clinics close?

There are no federal protections anymore, but they are still legal to operate aren’t they?

It is just like the end of WWI when the guns went silent on 11/11 at 11 o’clock.

All thanks and praise to Lord Jesus Christ! In your Name, Lord, we call for your divine protection from the demonic domestic terrorists in their night and days of satanic rage.

“Louisiana has a trigger law that is supposed to automatically ban abortion if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, but there is some disagreement about its start date. Justices ruled 5-4 to overturn Roe v. Wade after siding with the state of Mississippi over an abortion restriction that was challenged by that state’s only abortion clinic, Jackson’s Women Health Organization.”

Women’s right?
Like the right to have to compete against biological males? Or, the right to have men in their showers?
How can women have rights if they don’t even know what a women is?

unfortunately no it didn’t. Some states had pre-roe laws outlawing it still on the books.

others didn’t.

the ones that did have them go back to their existing laws.

We’re talking about the Louisiana law and I believe the provision on that was it becomes effective the moment Roe is overturned.
