Instead of upholding SETTLED LAW, the Supreme Court has decided to hear a full blown case of the Louisiana admitting privileges law that — if upheld — would leave the entire state with ONE abortion provider. Sound familiar? That's because this case is identical to Whole Woman's Health vs. Hellerstedt, which WE WON THREE YEAR AGO. TRAP laws are unconstitutional, folks. Admitting privileges only exist to shut clinics down. End of story.

But here we fucking go again.

 

For years AAF has been sounding the alarm about how ridiculous — and dangerous — the restrictions in Louisiana have become. Not only did we adopt a clinic in Louisiana in 2017, Abortion Access Front literally just got back from our incredible tour stop in Baton Rouge, where we talked about this case with our audience and raised awareness about barriers to abortion care at our comedy show, all while bringing love and solidarity to the local Delta Clinic, which serves patients from all over Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama with amazing, compassionate care. Despite the tireless work of badass activists and abortion providers, it's rough down there: Louisiana, which has the second highest maternal mortality rate in the country, currently only has THREE clinics. People seeking abortion care have to jump through demeaning, medically unnecessary hoops to get care, and no public health insurance covers it. Now more TRAP laws?! No sir.
