The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled that a 2014 state law requiring doctors who perform abortions to have special relationships with local hospitals may go into effect as a legal challenge against it works its way through the courts. In January, a lower court had temporarily blocked the law.

The law is similar to a regulation being challenged in Texas as part of Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, a case that will be argued before the Supreme Court next week. It requires doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic where they practice, permitting them to treat patients there.
