Earlier this year, the anti-abortion group Americans United for Life went through all

of the states in America and ranked them by how pro-life in their words they are.

And at the top of that ranking was the state of Louisiana.

Louisiana has three abortion clinics.

And on Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that could bring that

number down to one.

So I've been covering this case for a long time and in late December, I went to one of

the three remaining clinics in Louisiana, Hope Medical Group for Women.

Hope is in Shreveport, it's in Northern Louisiana, and depending on what happens with the

Supreme Court case this year, Hope could face being closed.

The clinic itself, it felt like it had really taken a lot of steps to be homey and be

welcoming.

You know, it was the holiday season.

Some of the staff were wearing reindeer antlers.

There's coffee and posters on the walls of things to do in Shreveport and sort of touches

to make it a little bit more welcoming.

But it also is a reminder that people are coming to this clinic from a really far away.

Staff at Hope told me folks are coming from Texas, they're coming from Oklahoma, they're

coming from Arkansas, sometimes they're coming from Mississippi.

So it can be routinely a 200 mile drive for people to get an abortion there.

I got there early in the morning, the staff was there, but the patients weren't there

yet.
