Abstract

The article examines how COVID-19 and the U.S. Supreme Court decision which held that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion, have impacted abortion services in Louisiana. Cited are studies showing that the state's pandemic abortion ban has disrupted people's ability to obtain abortions, how the Dobbs decision has allowed states not just to restrict abortion but also to ban abortion outright, and the political shift on abortion that is needed at the state or the federal level.
