CWN Editor's Note: A Louisiana judge has allowed the state’s Human Life Protection Act to go into effect, thus protecting unborn children from abortion, except when the life of the mother is endangered.

Overturning that decision, Judge Ethel Julien ruled that the abortion clinic had filed its lawsuit in the wrong venue.
