Federal Court Upholds Pro-Life Admitting Privileges to Hospitals in This State

News Staff : Feb 25, 2016  CBN News

"Anyone who has outpatient surgery would expect her doctor to admit her to a hospital in the event of complications; women seeking abortions should have the same assurance of prompt care." –Jeff Landry

(Baton Rouge, LA)—[CBN News] A federal appeals court has upheld a Louisiana law meant to protect the health of women who choose to have abortions.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court ruling, which claimed the law violates women's rights. Supporters say the provision requiring admitting privileges at area hospitals is meant to protect women's health. Opponents say it makes it harder for women to get abortions.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry says the law actually helps women.

"Anyone who has outpatient surgery would expect her doctor to admit her to a hospital in the event of complications; women seeking abortions should have the same assurance of prompt care," he said, calling it "a reasonable, common-sense safety measure."
