Just before Thanksgiving, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) issued new “emergency” regulations that overhauled the existing regulations on abortion clinics. These 21 pages of rules give DHH the authority to immediately shut down a clinic without opportunity for appeal, even for simple infractions. Clinics have stated that they would be unable to meet the burdensome and excessive requirements, and this would lead to the closure of all five clinics in Louisiana.
Oh my god, these regulations are the height of impossibility. Among other things, patients have to have certain medical information documented by the clinic a month before their procedure. This is a 30-day waiting period.
Louisiana residents, there is a hearing on Wednesday, January 27 at 9:30 am in Room 118 of the Bienville Building in Baton Rouge. PLEASE submit written comments (the link has sample letters) or get there early wearing purple to match the folks at the New Orleans Abortion Fund.

that was sarcasm it’s not great at all
You can still submit your opposition by emailing abortionfundnola@gmail.com for them to read at the hearing, or sending a letter (received by Jan. 30) to:
J. Ruth Kennedy
Bureau of Health Services Financing
PO Box 91030
Baton Rouge, LA 70821-0930
Please don’t think that your physical presence is all that will make a difference! Your opposition will be registered whether they see your face or not. Don’t let bad weather stand in the way of defending your civil rights!
