Despite an order that all non-essential surgeries be postponed in Louisiana amid the COVID-19 outbreak, the Women’s Health Center abortion business in New Orleans is operating and<\/em> has injured a woman.<\/p>\n

Pro-life watchdog group Operation Rescue reports<\/a> that a medical emergency occurred on Tuesday, April 21, 2020, at Women’s Health Center. While the type of emergency is unknown at the time, a woman was seen by pro-lifers being placed into an ambulance on a gurney.<\/p>\n

The New Orleans City Attorney’s office refused to fulfill Operation Rescue’s public records request for information on the incident.<\/p>\n

On March 21, Governor John Bel Edwards (D) and the state Department of Health issued an order<\/a> requiring all non-essential and elective surgeries to be suspended until further notice. As a result, all three Louisiana abortion facilities were said to have closed<\/a>. There was an exception made for emergency medical surgeries for pregnant women if their health or the health of their preborn children were at risk.<\/p>\n
