Louisiana’s ban makes abortion illegal in almost all cases. The state’s trigger law only allows for exceptions if a pregnant woman’s life is in danger from a physical illness or a pregnant woman could otherwise sustain “serious, permanent impairment of a life-sustaining organ.” Abortion procedures can also be used to treat miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies.
Under the ban, pregnant people whose life might be at risk because of suicidal thoughts or another mental illness cannot use those conditions to access an abortion in Louisiana. A pregnancy that results from rape or incest is also not eligible.
