Abortion is now banned in Louisiana. Here’s what you need to know.
Louisiana's trigger law, signed by former Gov. Kathleen Blanco, goes into effect once Roe v. Wade is overturned. The law bans most abortions and criminalizes the act of providing an abortion, except in some instances.
It is unclear if Louisiana’s three abortion clinics must close their doors immediately. Some providers in Louisiana have said they would stop providing abortions as soon as the decision was announced.
SB342, a bill by state Sen. Katrina Jackson, was also passed in the recent legislative session and signed by Gov. John Bel Edwards. It bans all abortions from the “moment of fertilization," and penalizes people who provide abortions with jail time and fines.
