Wrong. The Attorney General can step in when the DA gets out of hand.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, who is staunchly anti-abortion, applauded Friday’s Supreme Court ruling, but Ciolino said state law strictly limits the influence that the AG’s office has over local prosecutorial decisions.

You don't see this as a problem? You don't see a problem with DAs only prosecuting cases they want?
And he's wrint. DAs are supposed to prosecute cases they think they can win. Big difference

I 100% think it’s a problem for DAs to issue blanket statements refusing to prosecute rather than on a case by case basis. Never said otherwise.

Need the AG to intervene for authority over all abortion prosecutions, File complaint against the DA with the State Bar disciplinary committee, and lastly find out who the MD is and file complaints with the Louisiana state board of Medical Examiners about him breaking the law. go after the Doctors license.
This. It will be up to the state AG to ensure the law is being followed. If that fails, our votes should make the choice.

I find it hard to believe that any doctor, let alone Planned Parenthood, is going to run a clinic in a city/county where the DA is ignoring state law in allowing them to operate.
That's like continually walking under a suspended piano.
You will likely be ok for a while, but one day....
I mean who wants this hanging over their head?

The 173-year-old law makes providing an abortion a felony, making no exceptions for cases of rape or incest. The penalty for performing abortions outlined in the law is up to six years in prison and a $10,000 fine, but increases to 15 years in prison and a $50,000 fine if the fetus is past sixteen weeks of development.

DAs have prosecutorial discretion but it seems like the State could go after medical practitioners (murderers) administratively and make their lives hell; that’s assuming the State has the gumption to release the hounds.

Yep…They’ve got to have a professional license to open the doors. If they preform an illegal procedure they lose their ability to practice and can be prosecuted by AGs office.

Nothing screams more “I’m an academic” so I don’t have to live by the same rules as everyone else more than that.

Then they should be forcibly removed from office. Remember the Kentucky clerk of court who was removed because she wouldn't issue marriage licenses to gays? Same thing here.

The DA is like a private company.
He can do whatever he wants.
Am I doing this right?

I don’t take it as instructing anyone. He’s simply laying out the reality of the situation that they can ignore it and nothing can really change that outside of voting them out.

They haven't been prosecuting murders of any kind, so abortion would be no different for them.
Posted on 6/24/22 at 8:45 pm to Mickey Goldmill
The actual clinics are under LA Department of Health. They have the authority to shut any clinic down and will not issue any permits for these clinics. Maybe they don’t get prosecuted but they also will not be open

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin stopped providing abortions as soon as the ruling came down Friday, saying they had to tell people in the waiting room they could no longer help them.
That’s weird. They provide such a vast, wide range of services you’d think they could help them in a multitude of ways.

She wasn’t removed from office.

I’m not sure that is true. There is an Ethics Board and a State AG that might have some oversight. I’m no lawyer. I only slept with her for twenty plus years.

She was sent to jail for contempt of court and later defeated in a election. I don't see the former happening to any DA's defy the court's decision as some have said they would.

Half/half DA in Dallas said no to prosecuting.

She was sued in federal court in Kentucky and the judge ordered her to issue the licenses and she still refused so she was jailed for a week for contempt of court. She then returned to her job for the remainder of her term until she lost her re-election bid.
So if someone can come up with standing and a legal basis to sue the DA to order them to prosecute someone, maybe he will be jailed as well. Good luck with that argument though.
