HB 575 by Reps. Lauren Ventrella and Julie Emerson empowers Louisiana citizens harmed by abortion to file lawsuits against abortion drug dealers who unlawfully sell abortion services, including predators and abusers.
HB 425 by Rep. Josh Carlson broadens the current definition of coercion in RS: 87:6 to encompass tactics often employed by abusers, like control or intimidation, that force a woman to undergo an abortion against her will.
HB 575 and HB 425 passed on Louisiana Right to Life’s Pro-Life Day at the State Capitol where Pregnancy Resource Centers from across Louisiana came to lobby legislators and show their support for life.
Communications Director for Louisiana Right to Life Sarah Zagorski said the following about the success in the House of Representatives:
HB 575 is an opportunity for restorative justice for women and families that are victims of abortion drug trafficking. It will ensure that victims have civil recourse after being harmed by the abortion industry.
HB 425 broadens Louisiana’s abortion coercion statue to encompass tactics often employed by abusers, like control or intimidation, that force a woman to undergo an abortion against her will.
Louisiana Right to Life is committed to a future where women and girls are safe from the predatory tactics of the abortion industry and can pursue justice for themselves and their families.
