A district court blocked Louisiana's "trigger" laws that would have made nearly all abortions illegal in the state following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The court order occurred in response to a lawsuit from abortion providers calling the bans unconstitutional. A group representing the providers, The Center for Reproductive Rights, argued that the state's abortion bans are "vague," do not have a "clear and unambiguous effective date," and "lack adequate standing for enforceability."
A hearing for the providers' lawsuit has been set for July 8.
