Frivolous Lawsuit Filed By Abortion Business

Jun 28, 2022

Our Laws Will Prevail to Protect Babies!

By Benjamin Clapper, Executive Director, Louisiana Right to Life

Do not be alarmed because we expected this to happen!

Abortion businesses sell abortion. We knew they would pursue every legal avenue, no matter how frivolous, to keep their profit intact.

The Shreveport abortion business filed an absurd lawsuit to stop our pro-life laws protecting life. They are claiming our laws protecting babies are vague and unclear.

And get this. They filed the lawsuit in an Orleans Parish district court rather than in Caddo Parish where their abortion facility resides. It seems pretty clear to us they are looking for a friendly judge to help them. With very little consideration and only a couple hours after the lawsuit was filed, an Orleans judge temporarily blocked our pro-life laws from going into effect. It appears the judge didn’t even permit the Attorney General’s office an opportunity to refute the claim.

Sadly, this ridiculous decision could lead to abortion businesses reopening for a short time. We know Attorney General Jeff Landry and his office are working right now to fight the decision.

We are confident that our courts, whether at the district, appellate, or state Supreme Court level, will affirm our laws and babies will be protected.

As you know, we passed the Love Life Amendment in 2020 to ensure no right to abortion can be found in the Louisiana Constitution. In the abortion business’s filing, they never claimed there was a right to abortion, only that our law was “vague.” This shows the impact of the Love Life Amendment.

Stay tuned to our blog and social media pages for regular updates. Louisiana will prevail and protect babies from abortion!

For a Pro-Life Louisiana.
