Supreme Court blocks Louisiana law that would restrict abortion providers
The Supreme Court in a victory for abortion-rights advocates on Friday blocked Louisiana from enforcing a law that they said would have left the state with only one doctor licensed to perform the procedure.
The justices, by a 7-1 vote, issued a brief order that restores an earlier judicial ban on enforcing the 2014 law.
The court's order is a good sign for abortion-rights groups in Louisiana and nationwide.
