On Monday, a six-day hearing over the fate of Louisiana\u2019s admitting privileges law begins, the Associated Press reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lawyers defending the requirement that abortionists obtain admitting privileges at hospitals within 30 miles argued the case should be dismissed because the Fifth Circuit Court\u2019s decision to uphold a similar Texas law<\/a> already settled the issue for Louisiana as well. Those defending the law argued the Texas decision was still pending a final Supreme Court outcome and that this law warrants consideration because the state does not impose similar requirements on other surgical procedures.<\/p>\n

The Fifth Circuit ruled in the Texas case there was \u201cno question\u201d that \u201cadequate provision for any complication or emergency that might arise\u201d qualified as a legitimate state interest.<\/p>\n

The abortionists are suing anonymously<\/a>, with a court order making \u201cany information about the clinics’ staff, physicians and patients\u201d secret to the general public, allegedly to protect them from potential violence and intimidation. Louisiana has five abortion clinics, and abortion defenders fear only one doctor from any of them is likely to meet the law\u2019s requirements, nearly ending abortion in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
