Abortions can resume in Louisiana after state court temporarily blocks "trigger" bans
CBSN
Washington — A state court in Louisiana on Monday blocked enforcement of the state's "trigger" bans on abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court's blockbuster decision overturning Roe v. Wade, allowing the procedure to resume in the state for now.
The order, from Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge Robin Giarrusso, came in response to a request from a Louisiana abortion clinic and its administrator, which argued the trigger laws banning abortion in the state were unconstitutionally vague.
The court will hold a hearing on the request for a temporary restraining order July 8.
