Amicus: June Medical Services v. Gee, U.S. Supreme Court

Executive Summary

The National Health Law Program and The National Network of Abortion Funds filed an amicus brief opposing Louisiana’s unconstitutional admitting-privileges requirement. Louisiana has constructed an imposing, and in some cases impossibly high, impediment to those seeking abortion care in the state. If it had been allowed to go into effect, the requirement will would have forced the closure of clinics that provide vital abortion care., which would have disproportionately impacted low-income people, people on Medicaid, BIPOC, LGTBQ-GNC people, and survivors of intimate partner violence.
