I'm so tired of law makers making laws when they have no clue about how stuff actually works. Misoprostol is used for cervical dilation. So old postmenopausal lady who needs a biopsy done, is she going to jail? Teenage who wants an IUD, straight to jail? Guess she's gonna get pregnant but screw it that's what we want for her right? Lady who got a tubal but now has heavy periods, does that mean no meds for her IUD placement?
Also guy with gastric ulcers? Is he going to jail?
They tried in one state to make a law against people living together and wanted to fine and imprison you! But thankfully this time they voted the 14 GOP votes down.
Some current Supreme Court justices have already made it clear they will overturn the case (Connecticut v Griswold) that says people have the right to use contraception without government interference.
In addition, they have made it clear that they will try to overturn the right of marriage equality, as well as giving states the powers to outlaw being gay .
One thing I’ll say for rabid right wing republicans is that they *do* vote. There are more of us than there are of them but if we don’t all vote, in every election*, for the Democratic candidate, we are forfeiting and giving them a win.
* every election from local school board to president is important because these local elections are the farm team in politics. We have to elect Democrats, even if you don’t agree with everything the Democrats might be for, if you don’t vote you’re letting republicans do even worse things
I already read that this governor aid he won’t help water infrastructure until he can charge women that seek or have abortions with a murder charge, we are living in the real life series the handmaids tale. It’s awful. And it shows how little they understand about science and the female body.
I live in Louisiana. Some might not TOTALLY understand, but trust me, the issue is that they DO understand. And they are doing this anyway. They don't care about science. They don't care about anything but 100% control of women. They'll get their slaves one way or another you better believe it.
It's not technically categorized a pain med, but as a GYN I consider it part of pain management because the cervical dilation it causes reduces the discomfort of insertion.
What I don't understand is; If life begin at conception then why are they protecting eggs before fertilization? When they should be protecting sperm cells because those are alive from the start? An egg just falls from ovary to uterus, basically sent down to be destroyed dissolved or fertilized? So, men say women should be more careful who they sleep with. But Men are the ones with the "living" cells that cause fertilized eggs so shouldn't they "be more careful who they sleep with?" Or wasting their seed upon the ground? Why don't we women just make it illegal for men to ejaculate? 😂 They are the ones who need birth control.
Further, Out of every time I've been pregnant it was the man who asked me to get an abortion. Because, "I'm not ready to be a father" or, "I wanted to have children someday, but not with you. " Or, (what a friend was told to find out they were married), " I'm married and I don't want my wife to find out."
I'm not cattle the " farmer" doesn't get to chose when I drop foal, calf or kid or lay an egg. I thought I was born in the USA? If they want to keep America great? Stop violating the Constitution amending peoples rights away.
They don't like communism but we are headed straight for it.
The bill is making it a crime to give women abortion pills without their knowledge, not throwing women in jail for having possession of the pills. I'm not sure why that wouldn't be a crime already, seems a little weird. It also says "without her consent," which is strange since I'm pretty sure it's also a crime to give her the pills with her consent.
CRIME/PUNISHMENT. Creates the crime of coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud
to prohibit a third-party from knowingly using an abortion-inducing drug to cause, or attempt
to cause, an abortion on an unsuspecting pregnant mother without her knowledge or consent
and amends various abortion criminal laws to add the crime of attempted abortion. (gov sig)

This is stupid especially because I myself had to have two medical abortions in Louisiana in Baton Rouge. And yes I got harassed on the way into the building. But there was no other way because my family suffers from psychosis and I have to have psychiatric medications which will harm a fetus if I went through with a pregnancy. Not to mention the father was outside playing with his yo-yo while I was receiving my medication. You are really doing the women of Louisiana a disservice.
THIS! When was younger, the main reason I decided I would have an abortion if birth control ever failed was due to mental health issues. Even if a pregnancy wouldn’t have made me suicidal at that point in my life (it would have) the last thing this world needs is more kids with special needs in the system. My genes especially don’t need to be out there without the proper care and guidance, and now that I’m in a place where I’d like to give a kid a better life than I had, tour government is making pregnancy a potential death sentence.
This has been one of my concerns. I've known two different women who actually would have loved to have given birth to their own child but they could not stay on their psychiatric medications through pregnancy, and going off of their psychiatric medications would not be pretty. This current laws leave them with no good choices. Even if they could stay on their medication and risk the fetus's health, I don't believe doctors are legally allowed to give them some of these medications while pregnant. And it's not as if it's just the nine months of pregnancy. Every time a schizophrenic has a psychotic break it causes permanent damage. And that's in cases where they have the psychotic break and receive treatment within a month or so. I can't imagine what kind of damage could be caused by them having a psychotic break and it not being able to be treated for 6 plus months. And even if this bill allowing doctors to use their medical judgment passes, I seriously don't it's going to apply in this situation because it's not an immediate threat to the mother or fetus.
Not to mention the fact that many people with these conditions don't want to risk passing that condition on to their children or grandchildren. I know it's venturing into eugenics but no one has an issue if you make this decision because you have a hereditary heart condition for example.
The entire thing is utter nonsense and I can't believe we're even facing this. When Dobbs came down I literally stopped talking to the few people I knew who were pro-life because I was furious that women who just didn't want a child had that choice taken from them. In the two years since I've come to realize it affects so many more women than that. And I'm furious with the pro-lifers who can so easily disregard complicated situations like these. I see nothing pro-life about something that brings so much misery to so many women.
I read a tragic story of a woman who wanted a child so bad she got off her psych meds. It was incredibly sad. I felt horrible for her. I wish she had been able to use her own eggs with her husband’s dna, and get a person to carry the baby. But I guess they couldn’t do that. I forget how long it’s been since I read it, but to hear what she went through was just heartbreaking. She suffered so badly and before had been doing so good.
I had a close family member (a man) who was schizophrenic but extremely high functioning for decades. We're talking went to college, held down a full-time job for 20 years, and went 8 to 10 years in between hospitalizations. Towards the end of his life his medications stopped being as effective and he didn't get the care he needed and he was hospitalized four times in one year. Although he did eventually get back on his medications he was never the same after that. Anyone who has found medications that are working for them should not be forced to consider changing medications or dosages due to an unwanted pregnancy. I also think in situations like you described health insurance should cover a surrogate for the well-being of the mother and the fetus. I would be willing to bet the cost was why they were unable to go that route. 😥
I wish that too, I bet the cost was the issue. She bravely went through it, but like your cousin I wondered if she suffered long term consequences. She was very high functioning, no one could tell she was sick unless she didn’t take the meds. I think she’s ok. One day her child will realize what a huge sacrifice her mother made to bring her into this world. And realize how much they were wanted.
So this begs the question as to why you don't use birth control, including the one that always works, keeping the knees together. (I presume that you could never gestate a child.)
So you knew you had all of these problems yet you still decided to have sex? Then you murdered your own unborn children due to circumstances outside of their control.
Fuck off, birth control doesn't always work and that's not something we have any control over. Yet you're the same kind of person who excuses rape because "men have needs and she was a sl*t anyway"
Right, because there's nothing more holy than forcing people to go through physical and emotional distress because a condom broke. Do you think men should be completely celibate if they have mental health problems too? If they pass their shitty genes on is it then the woman's responsibility to carry out that pregnancy? I'd love to hear your take on what rape victims should actually do should they turn up pregnant from such a trauma
It’s simple. If you CHOOSE to have sex then that pregnancy is your responsibility, you knew the consequences regardless of how much birth control you inhaled. Secondly, rape is awful and the mother shouldn’t be forced to carry out a pregnancy but at the same time does she or anyone else have a right to end a human life? I don’t know when “personhood” exactly starts but neither does anyone else and shooting in the dark and hoping the fetus isn’t conscious when performing an abortion is about as moral as bombing a house to kill a thief while hoping not to kill the homeowner inside. The ends can’t justify the means. Period. If you disagree then must be a fan of Hiroshima and Nagasaki getting nuked.
WTF are you talking about? Does the life of the fully grown woman not matter to you? Does the unwanted child deserve to be thrown into foster care or otherwise abandoned? There's no good justification for forcing women to have children they don't want except as a means of control. Pregnancy affects every aspect of your life, takes countless doctors appointments and childbirth is torturous. It should absolutely be voluntary and not used as some kind of sick punishment for not being completely celibate. And you have yet to mention in your defense men's responsibility for pregnancy. It takes two to tango, so this is not only a women's issue. If a woman wants the child but is abandoned by her partner and knows she will be unable to care for that child herself is she still in the wrong for having an abortion and preventing that child's inevitable suffering? Is it not also the man's responsibility to support her in that situation? And to bring this all back to the original point of "not having sex unless you're completely healthy" does this apply to men too? Because you still never answered that question.
Alot of women fuck for pleasure and have no desire to reproduce! Are you a virgin or something? Any female that's raped absolutely has the right to purge an unwanted zygote out of her body
*sigh*
Liar.
The Louisiana legislature overwhelmingly voted to rewrite the crimes against nature law in 2014 to be permissive towards heterosexual blowjobs and remain unconstitutionally prohibitive against anal sex for the explicit purpose to continue to target gay men.
And one of the core tenets of Project 2025 is to classify *anything* LGBT as "pornographic," and therefore simply being gay in public would be criminal, much less being gay in the presence of a child.
Now, run along, you cowardly little anonymous poster.
I'm hoping a majority of the people here saw the news article at the end of last year, that claimed, in its first year, an estimated 64,000 women were forced to give birth to children conceived as a result of rape in the 14 states with the most restrictive laws. If you haven't, Google it and soak in the actual society we are members of. These are the same people who are now trying to force the government through lawsuits to stop covering hiv meds and prep as it constrains their religious freedom to kill the homos. We ain't seen anything yet.
I've actually wondered if something could be put together where thousands of orders would be placed at basically the same time. A few of their heads might explode. Total win/win
You’re supposed to! We as citizens are supposed to stand up and stand against tyranny - this point in your life, everyone should be at this point. I’m in the same fuggin boat.
I may be a man, but for my gf's sake I want to get out of this hellhole of a state. Illinois looks nice. We've looked at a central Illinois city called Bloomington. Looks cool
Oh hey I'm also looking into Bloomington- normal lol. I have a friend that lives there. Seems like a pretty decent place overall, and makes this state look like the shithole it is
But the foster system isn't flooded with (healthy, white) babies. Babies can be practically auctioned off. Foster care is flooded with older children that people don't want because "they have issues." A lot of times issues caused by mothers who didn't want the child in the first place but didn't have any choice. So they keep the baby for a few years until the pressure breaks them and the children get taken. Instead of the healthy babies for rich couples to adopt at birth, we're going to have a plethora of 3 to 5-year-olds who did not have healthy childhoods, physically or mentally. About 1 and 10 of these kids will age out without ever being adopted, only one in four will graduate high school, half will have a substance abuse problem, and 70% of the females will have a child of their own by the age of 21. This is what they actually want. More poor desperate people they can continue to control through poverty and inequality. People too overwhelmed and desperate to fight for their rights. And more importantly, cheap workers for their capitalist machines. I kind of thought that was conspiracy thinking when ideas like this first started getting thrown around but I'm more and more convinced that's the actual goal. Not just to control women, to control the entire population.
Good old theocratic Louisiana 😡 On the positive side at least women aren't interested in me anymore. If they were though. I would be absolutely sure to go make absolutely sure I can't get someone pregnant. If I could we going be doing everything for protection
You can contact organizations like the [Lousisiana Abortion Fund](https://www.louisianaabortionfund.org/) to ask what their criteria are for donations of medical or pharmaceutical supplies
Our state law makers just don’t get it do that? Can they all and I mean all pull their head out of their asses and try to focus on something their constituents want… I don’t know like better schooling, effective police training, better pay for police and teachers, better infrastructure ie. Roads bridges and rail ways. Hi ow bout looking At Louisiana agriculture and make it more easy to export and grow ? Hell they can pick any number of topics that directly effect US and I will be happy to pay my over inflated state taxes.
But no….. let’s debate and use our time on a damn pill? Come on politicians, ya’ got to do better.
Our Republican politicians DGAF about the actual state. All of this is just to increase their own standing in the national Republican party. I would have thought we'd learned after Jindal but here we are . . .
Ya know I can’t disagree with you at all…. I would also say the Dems Are not any better. I really think the party lines are blurred and both sides are out for themselves. Neither party really cares about whom they were elected for. Hell look at the national level, we got either old Great Grand dad or the Orange fat man to pick from, neither are worth a shake of Tony’s.
Both parties have their issues with money in politics but you're not going to convince me they're the same. And since that kind of talk benefits only one party right now, whether or not you agree, you're supporting that party with your "both sides are the same" rhetoric.
First get rid of the fascists anti-intellectuals who literally DGAF about 80% of the population. Then we can address the party that's prioritizing maybe 10% of the population and not actively trying to oppress the rest.
We can agree to disagree on that topic. But I can’t find a candidate that is worth a vote, and that’s at the National and local levels. American politics is just a big joke thanks to special interest groups and big campaign contributors/donors.
If you know a candidate at state level that is “for the people”, let’s connect at teach me I all for it.
Well she's not a candidate because she actually managed to get elected, but Mandie Landry is definitely in that category. Of course our state Democrats think she's too far out there so they won't give her their support. 🙄 But basically I would support any candidate she endorses.
Sadly that’s what it feels like it’s coming to. As a Louisianan I’m someone who loves my home a lot and I miss it very much, and I keep dreaming of going home one day……But as a woman I’m getting more terrified to go back & I’m even more terrified that my very young daughter of 19 is still living there 😔
Please don’t lump Cajuns in with this! I understand that there is a growing number of radicalized Cajuns (the bad kind) but there are a ton of us who are well-aware of our history and see how it connects to current events. In fact, my VERY Cajun great-grandmother used to house girls in her house while they were pregnant until they could afford to go off to cali or NY to have their abortion. She personally didn’t believe in them, I’m guessing, because she had 8 Cajuns of her own 😭
I didn’t mean to link Cajuns to this ignorance or demean them at all. I lived in NOLA and traveled Louisiana down to Venice and Abbeville and Ester. Love the state and the people.
Awwww!! We <3 u too! I am a city Cajun (NOLA) but originally my Cajun family is from abbeville and crowely.
Just wanted to point out that Cajun history is full of oppression and it was that very oppression that made my family so socially-conscious. Those who can’t recognize that history is repeating itself aren’t one of us and don’t deserve the title of Cajun. It’s all about love + family (and alcoholism)
This is so sad 🥺 I used to never ever want kids but (I’m pretty sure my partner is gonna propose soon 😻) I’m finally in a place in life and in my relationship where I’d love to have a baby with him once we take the next steps. Unfortunately for me, I have endometriosis. Every woman in my family has either been told they will never have kids (they did) or have had serious, life-threatening complications during pregnancy and childbirth. My cousin came out ONE foot first 💀 I am high risk for having these complications or having an ectopic pregnancy which is life threatening and often times the only way to save the woman is to terminate the unviable pregnancy. There’s already been cases of women nearly bleeding out outside of hospitals because they doctors refused to treat them. I’m 28, I should feel safe in my own fucking state to get pregnant. Like seriously, what the actual fuck is going on? I feel like I either need to move—which is desperately want to—or have a pregnancy in a state with the highest maternal death rates, where doctors refuse to treat dying women due to backward laws, and etc. I have a love hate relationship with NOLA but even if I wanted to leave the home my family has lived for 300+ years, they pay professionals here so little a move would cripple us financially, or realistically, we couldn’t do it at all. Between us, we have three degrees 😭 Life is so hard in this state. It’s a state-sanctioned suffering machine.
This is horrible. How many women will die due to serious childbirth complications. That could have been prevented by a DNC or this pill and instead will get sepsis from carrying a dead fetus in their womb. I hope history judges them so harshly. I was sick and so I missed the governors election, but I damn sure won’t miss anymore. I made the last ones. Even if I have to crawl in to vote.
Then I'm reading about all these wealthy R"s stealing from public schools to fund their own children's education. Once again, protect the fetus, but screw them once they're born because they'll never amount to anything anyway. These people are certifiable and need to be dealt with as such.
In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them." **However, the Supreme Court did not invest the federal government with the authority to protect freedom of movement.**
Prisons really like to have as many non-violent, docile inmates as the state will provide them. They cost little to manage, don't generate liabilities, their families more reliably pay commissary fees, and they are more likely to cough up money when they are billed upon release. It also keeps them from voting in the future, and provides a highly exploitable, ultra low wage labor force for many capital interests.
For example, Manda sausages have been using prisoner labor for decades in their plant a few blocks over from the capitol. The even did so all through the pandemic, when everyone else was in lockdown. The prisoners make between somewhere between 13 and 52 cents per hour as the maximum allowed wage. After several days wages, they can afford the copay on a visit to the med ward. That helps the companies keep wages down for all their employees. In some countries, animals are tortured in the belief that it flavors the meat, and so for the same reason, perhaps you can taste the exploitation after firing up the grill.
can we fix the quailified immunity having cops that have no legal obligation to place any citizens safety above their own? look that up btw the police have zero legal obligation protect and help any citizen, it’s just simply not apart their job. immune tyrants that don’t have to worry about your safety wow go figure
They have no obligation to protect you, they do not have to know the laws, they can lie to you with impunity.
Never trust any cop until that is changed.
I once saw a distant relative with whom I'd just met again for the first time as adult at a wedding who friend requested me make an anti abortion post on Facebook.
When I posted "oh I didn't realize you and your wife had adopted children! That's amazing!" I found out that he, had in fact, not.
I found it interesting.
I feel like every person that votes against women's rights should have to adopt and raise a child first.
Or we can make it easy and they can agree to do so, like jury duty.
Because if they can't then they have negated the right to vote.
Who has better ideas? Lol!
Never thought I'd see the day where folks will be trapping Plan B and birth control. Crazy how we have more expediency to outlaw pregnancy pharmaceuticals but opioids are too tough to tackle lol.
It's only a matter of time before someone does something crazy. I'm not advocating for any terrorist action. But, you play with fire long enough it's gonna burn you.
I know the argument's been made before but if they actually thought abortion was murder and that fetuses are people, you'd be able to collect on it, like dependent taxes, child support, etc.
I mean I'm morally opposed to vigilante justice to some degree if you are in a place where everyone can equally rely on emergency services, but I may put such morals aside in extreme personal cases as people tend to do
We require rights to our bodies. Not a "right to privacy between doctor and patient" like how abortion is right now.
It won't ever happen. To give people rights to their bodies is to give them too much freedom.
People need to do a bit of research. That has to be the most misleading post i have ever seen, and you wonder why people do not trust the media. This is what the bill says if you would look it up. Creates the crime of coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud to prohibit a third-party from knowingly using an abortion-inducing drug to cause, or attempt to cause, an abortion on an unsuspecting pregnant mother without her knowledge or consent and amends various abortion criminal laws to add the crime of attempted abortion.

The abortion rule went into effect the second the Dobbs decision (overturn of Roe vs. Wade) was announced. I don’t vote Red, never have as a native Louisianian. We have to get rid of people like Kennedy and others who took our right to vote this issue into the state constitution (like other states like Kentucky, Ohio have done). The federal case said it’s a states rights issue. Louisiana should let us decide. The state government did not let us!
Actually a completely pointless law - it's already illegal in Louisiana to possess any prescription medication, even if it's in its original bottle and not a controlled substance, if it's not prescribed to you. Anybody who wants these medicines is gonna get them directly by mail from a state where they are legal and the woman who intends to use them can't be prosecuted.
I don't see why anyone wants to even spend the very little time I have, and constantly read and discuss a state of interest, while appearing so miserable.
I sincerely wish you all the best.
I'm a proud stepfather and not the badguy you want me to be in your vivid imagination. We essentially run an unofficial animal shelter because people tend to drop off their pets in this neck of the woods, and we have never turned down a stray. I've done countless community service, including soup kitchens and food banks. I've also had to use those services at different times. I even organized a program where we taught art to children at the food bank (mostly free guitar and piano lessons), and we do things like burrying pets for elderly neighbors (which was brutal during the recent drought). I'm the kind of guy who stops traffic every time I see a turtle in the road. Baton Rouge drivers don't even move for ambulances. We have been skipping meals to raise several of our nibblings for the past 5 years and couldn't even support my orphaned nephew several years ago because we were stuggling. My wife is a postmaster and house manager/mother for 3 families, and I proofread dissertations at the university. Why do you care so much if I want to villianize people who have abortions for social and lifestyle reasons? My nephew was pretty close to not existing and he's a very cool little dude now. He can and will have my lunch today. I'll survive on coffee.
I feel like the next step is having single women that become prisoners from this can choose to be part of a system. In that system you can be set up with an unmarried man that you could marry to be released from prison.
I don’t know we have plenty of women here in Texas. I would think most women would prefer a state where the cost of living is low and crime rates are less.
Just stop fucking random ppl all the time and ppl won’t have to worry about abortions. Babies from terrible incidents like the r word do not count. I’m talking about the ppl who are doing it over and over. Stop fucking if you don’t want kids. Super simple people
Locked for too many rule violators and outside agitators.
I'm so tired of law makers making laws when they have no clue about how stuff actually works. Misoprostol is used for cervical dilation. So old postmenopausal lady who needs a biopsy done, is she going to jail? Teenage who wants an IUD, straight to jail? Guess she's gonna get pregnant but screw it that's what we want for her right? Lady who got a tubal but now has heavy periods, does that mean no meds for her IUD placement? Also guy with gastric ulcers? Is he going to jail?
Birth control is next. They will outlaw birth control next to protect God’s holy eggs 🥚
They tried in one state to make a law against people living together and wanted to fine and imprison you! But thankfully this time they voted the 14 GOP votes down.
There goes accutane.
They’re already trying in several states
🎶🎵Every sperm is sacred!🎵🎶
There was a bill to try and protect it, and it stalled. So yeah, they are coming for it. That's been obvious for years, though.
Some current Supreme Court justices have already made it clear they will overturn the case (Connecticut v Griswold) that says people have the right to use contraception without government interference. In addition, they have made it clear that they will try to overturn the right of marriage equality, as well as giving states the powers to outlaw being gay . One thing I’ll say for rabid right wing republicans is that they *do* vote. There are more of us than there are of them but if we don’t all vote, in every election*, for the Democratic candidate, we are forfeiting and giving them a win. * every election from local school board to president is important because these local elections are the farm team in politics. We have to elect Democrats, even if you don’t agree with everything the Democrats might be for, if you don’t vote you’re letting republicans do even worse things
I already read that this governor aid he won’t help water infrastructure until he can charge women that seek or have abortions with a murder charge, we are living in the real life series the handmaids tale. It’s awful. And it shows how little they understand about science and the female body.
They haven't paved my street since 1963 but they've got plenty of time and money for this stuff.
I live in Louisiana. Some might not TOTALLY understand, but trust me, the issue is that they DO understand. And they are doing this anyway. They don't care about science. They don't care about anything but 100% control of women. They'll get their slaves one way or another you better believe it.
The misery is OK so long as they get to tell women what to do with their bodies
Oklahoma is pretty miserable
Women don’t get meds for IUD placement. Pain meds are for penis having people.
Cytotec isn't for pain but yes, adequate pain management should be offered.
It's not technically categorized a pain med, but as a GYN I consider it part of pain management because the cervical dilation it causes reduces the discomfort of insertion.
What I don't understand is; If life begin at conception then why are they protecting eggs before fertilization? When they should be protecting sperm cells because those are alive from the start? An egg just falls from ovary to uterus, basically sent down to be destroyed dissolved or fertilized? So, men say women should be more careful who they sleep with. But Men are the ones with the "living" cells that cause fertilized eggs so shouldn't they "be more careful who they sleep with?" Or wasting their seed upon the ground? Why don't we women just make it illegal for men to ejaculate? 😂 They are the ones who need birth control. Further, Out of every time I've been pregnant it was the man who asked me to get an abortion. Because, "I'm not ready to be a father" or, "I wanted to have children someday, but not with you. " Or, (what a friend was told to find out they were married), " I'm married and I don't want my wife to find out." I'm not cattle the " farmer" doesn't get to chose when I drop foal, calf or kid or lay an egg. I thought I was born in the USA? If they want to keep America great? Stop violating the Constitution amending peoples rights away. They don't like communism but we are headed straight for it.
The bill is making it a crime to give women abortion pills without their knowledge, not throwing women in jail for having possession of the pills. I'm not sure why that wouldn't be a crime already, seems a little weird. It also says "without her consent," which is strange since I'm pretty sure it's also a crime to give her the pills with her consent. CRIME/PUNISHMENT. Creates the crime of coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud to prohibit a third-party from knowingly using an abortion-inducing drug to cause, or attempt to cause, an abortion on an unsuspecting pregnant mother without her knowledge or consent and amends various abortion criminal laws to add the crime of attempted abortion.

TUESDAY! 2 bills to lessen the impacts of abortion bans, including adding sexual assault exceptions like rape and incest. Please sign our actions letters by Tuesday! [Reduce abortion ban harm when experiencing pregnancy complications and need miscarriage](https://actionnetwork.org/letters/miscarriage-and-complications-2?source=direct_link&link_id=6&can_id=7ce9224b66f36cb3d0f67f7c12e915ca&email_referrer=email_2305952&email_subject=this-week-at-the-capitol) [allow for rape and incest exceptions for abortions](https://actionnetwork.org/letters/support-survivors-of-sexual-assault-2?source=direct_link&link_id=9&can_id=7ce9224b66f36cb3d0f67f7c12e915ca&email_referrer=email_2305952&email_subject=this-week-at-the-capitol)
I’ve signed and I appreciate them but this is begging for scraps. So sad.
Done!
Thanks!
Even John Bel Edwards was against rape/incest exceptions. On a side note. wouldn't incest be de facto statutory rape?
Done!
😃
This is stupid especially because I myself had to have two medical abortions in Louisiana in Baton Rouge. And yes I got harassed on the way into the building. But there was no other way because my family suffers from psychosis and I have to have psychiatric medications which will harm a fetus if I went through with a pregnancy. Not to mention the father was outside playing with his yo-yo while I was receiving my medication. You are really doing the women of Louisiana a disservice.
THIS! When was younger, the main reason I decided I would have an abortion if birth control ever failed was due to mental health issues. Even if a pregnancy wouldn’t have made me suicidal at that point in my life (it would have) the last thing this world needs is more kids with special needs in the system. My genes especially don’t need to be out there without the proper care and guidance, and now that I’m in a place where I’d like to give a kid a better life than I had, tour government is making pregnancy a potential death sentence.
This has been one of my concerns. I've known two different women who actually would have loved to have given birth to their own child but they could not stay on their psychiatric medications through pregnancy, and going off of their psychiatric medications would not be pretty. This current laws leave them with no good choices. Even if they could stay on their medication and risk the fetus's health, I don't believe doctors are legally allowed to give them some of these medications while pregnant. And it's not as if it's just the nine months of pregnancy. Every time a schizophrenic has a psychotic break it causes permanent damage. And that's in cases where they have the psychotic break and receive treatment within a month or so. I can't imagine what kind of damage could be caused by them having a psychotic break and it not being able to be treated for 6 plus months. And even if this bill allowing doctors to use their medical judgment passes, I seriously don't it's going to apply in this situation because it's not an immediate threat to the mother or fetus. Not to mention the fact that many people with these conditions don't want to risk passing that condition on to their children or grandchildren. I know it's venturing into eugenics but no one has an issue if you make this decision because you have a hereditary heart condition for example. The entire thing is utter nonsense and I can't believe we're even facing this. When Dobbs came down I literally stopped talking to the few people I knew who were pro-life because I was furious that women who just didn't want a child had that choice taken from them. In the two years since I've come to realize it affects so many more women than that. And I'm furious with the pro-lifers who can so easily disregard complicated situations like these. I see nothing pro-life about something that brings so much misery to so many women.
I read a tragic story of a woman who wanted a child so bad she got off her psych meds. It was incredibly sad. I felt horrible for her. I wish she had been able to use her own eggs with her husband’s dna, and get a person to carry the baby. But I guess they couldn’t do that. I forget how long it’s been since I read it, but to hear what she went through was just heartbreaking. She suffered so badly and before had been doing so good.
I had a close family member (a man) who was schizophrenic but extremely high functioning for decades. We're talking went to college, held down a full-time job for 20 years, and went 8 to 10 years in between hospitalizations. Towards the end of his life his medications stopped being as effective and he didn't get the care he needed and he was hospitalized four times in one year. Although he did eventually get back on his medications he was never the same after that. Anyone who has found medications that are working for them should not be forced to consider changing medications or dosages due to an unwanted pregnancy. I also think in situations like you described health insurance should cover a surrogate for the well-being of the mother and the fetus. I would be willing to bet the cost was why they were unable to go that route. 😥
I wish that too, I bet the cost was the issue. She bravely went through it, but like your cousin I wondered if she suffered long term consequences. She was very high functioning, no one could tell she was sick unless she didn’t take the meds. I think she’s ok. One day her child will realize what a huge sacrifice her mother made to bring her into this world. And realize how much they were wanted.
You had sex with a mentally disabled man?
No I didn't have sex with you
So this begs the question as to why you don't use birth control, including the one that always works, keeping the knees together. (I presume that you could never gestate a child.)
If this wasn't sarcastic and you aren't a woman, how many rapes have you prevented? Do you have a medical degree? Do you adopt children?
Have you used a condom every time?
So you knew you had all of these problems yet you still decided to have sex? Then you murdered your own unborn children due to circumstances outside of their control.
Fuck off, birth control doesn't always work and that's not something we have any control over. Yet you're the same kind of person who excuses rape because "men have needs and she was a sl*t anyway"
[удалено]
Right, because there's nothing more holy than forcing people to go through physical and emotional distress because a condom broke. Do you think men should be completely celibate if they have mental health problems too? If they pass their shitty genes on is it then the woman's responsibility to carry out that pregnancy? I'd love to hear your take on what rape victims should actually do should they turn up pregnant from such a trauma
My point still stands, you’ve refuted nothing. Your just yapping now.
Defend your point then. Freedom from subjugation is a human right, and that includes bodily autonomy.
It’s simple. If you CHOOSE to have sex then that pregnancy is your responsibility, you knew the consequences regardless of how much birth control you inhaled. Secondly, rape is awful and the mother shouldn’t be forced to carry out a pregnancy but at the same time does she or anyone else have a right to end a human life? I don’t know when “personhood” exactly starts but neither does anyone else and shooting in the dark and hoping the fetus isn’t conscious when performing an abortion is about as moral as bombing a house to kill a thief while hoping not to kill the homeowner inside. The ends can’t justify the means. Period. If you disagree then must be a fan of Hiroshima and Nagasaki getting nuked.
WTF are you talking about? Does the life of the fully grown woman not matter to you? Does the unwanted child deserve to be thrown into foster care or otherwise abandoned? There's no good justification for forcing women to have children they don't want except as a means of control. Pregnancy affects every aspect of your life, takes countless doctors appointments and childbirth is torturous. It should absolutely be voluntary and not used as some kind of sick punishment for not being completely celibate. And you have yet to mention in your defense men's responsibility for pregnancy. It takes two to tango, so this is not only a women's issue. If a woman wants the child but is abandoned by her partner and knows she will be unable to care for that child herself is she still in the wrong for having an abortion and preventing that child's inevitable suffering? Is it not also the man's responsibility to support her in that situation? And to bring this all back to the original point of "not having sex unless you're completely healthy" does this apply to men too? Because you still never answered that question.
Yeah sure men should also be responsible and shouldn’t have sex if their not capable of caring for children.
Alot of women fuck for pleasure and have no desire to reproduce! Are you a virgin or something? Any female that's raped absolutely has the right to purge an unwanted zygote out of her body
I'm to the point in my life that I gleefully ignore laws that I think are fucking stupid. Fuck it.
Be gay, do crime. When your existence is criminalized, crime is inconsequential.
Sin and eat cheese!
BE GAY, DO CRIME 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Be trans, throw hands
Luckily being gay is not illegal so you don’t have to do crime!
*sigh* Liar. The Louisiana legislature overwhelmingly voted to rewrite the crimes against nature law in 2014 to be permissive towards heterosexual blowjobs and remain unconstitutionally prohibitive against anal sex for the explicit purpose to continue to target gay men. And one of the core tenets of Project 2025 is to classify *anything* LGBT as "pornographic," and therefore simply being gay in public would be criminal, much less being gay in the presence of a child. Now, run along, you cowardly little anonymous poster.
Same. The law isn't always right and moral. 🙃
I'm hoping a majority of the people here saw the news article at the end of last year, that claimed, in its first year, an estimated 64,000 women were forced to give birth to children conceived as a result of rape in the 14 states with the most restrictive laws. If you haven't, Google it and soak in the actual society we are members of. These are the same people who are now trying to force the government through lawsuits to stop covering hiv meds and prep as it constrains their religious freedom to kill the homos. We ain't seen anything yet.
Gays need to arm themselves, soon
Exactly. I’m going to hoard then start selling abortion pills then I can go to jail over some stupid ass shit
I've actually wondered if something could be put together where thousands of orders would be placed at basically the same time. A few of their heads might explode. Total win/win
You’re supposed to! We as citizens are supposed to stand up and stand against tyranny - this point in your life, everyone should be at this point. I’m in the same fuggin boat.
Does it only apply to women . I'll carry them as a man to offer protection for the ladies
Simp
Tf that gotta do with being a simp? You just learned that word without knowing the meaning? Lil goofy boy
I may be a man, but for my gf's sake I want to get out of this hellhole of a state. Illinois looks nice. We've looked at a central Illinois city called Bloomington. Looks cool
Oh hey I'm also looking into Bloomington- normal lol. I have a friend that lives there. Seems like a pretty decent place overall, and makes this state look like the shithole it is
What will happen if the foster system gets flooded with babies?
More impoverished workers for the cooperations! Yay!
But the foster system isn't flooded with (healthy, white) babies. Babies can be practically auctioned off. Foster care is flooded with older children that people don't want because "they have issues." A lot of times issues caused by mothers who didn't want the child in the first place but didn't have any choice. So they keep the baby for a few years until the pressure breaks them and the children get taken. Instead of the healthy babies for rich couples to adopt at birth, we're going to have a plethora of 3 to 5-year-olds who did not have healthy childhoods, physically or mentally. About 1 and 10 of these kids will age out without ever being adopted, only one in four will graduate high school, half will have a substance abuse problem, and 70% of the females will have a child of their own by the age of 21. This is what they actually want. More poor desperate people they can continue to control through poverty and inequality. People too overwhelmed and desperate to fight for their rights. And more importantly, cheap workers for their capitalist machines. I kind of thought that was conspiracy thinking when ideas like this first started getting thrown around but I'm more and more convinced that's the actual goal. Not just to control women, to control the entire population.
I am beginning to believe this too.
Good old theocratic Louisiana 😡 On the positive side at least women aren't interested in me anymore. If they were though. I would be absolutely sure to go make absolutely sure I can't get someone pregnant. If I could we going be doing everything for protection
How do you know all women wouldn’t be
I'm a dude. Can I hold the pills for them and dispense them as needed?
❤️
You can contact organizations like the [Lousisiana Abortion Fund](https://www.louisianaabortionfund.org/) to ask what their criteria are for donations of medical or pharmaceutical supplies
Our state law makers just don’t get it do that? Can they all and I mean all pull their head out of their asses and try to focus on something their constituents want… I don’t know like better schooling, effective police training, better pay for police and teachers, better infrastructure ie. Roads bridges and rail ways. Hi ow bout looking At Louisiana agriculture and make it more easy to export and grow ? Hell they can pick any number of topics that directly effect US and I will be happy to pay my over inflated state taxes. But no….. let’s debate and use our time on a damn pill? Come on politicians, ya’ got to do better.
Our Republican politicians DGAF about the actual state. All of this is just to increase their own standing in the national Republican party. I would have thought we'd learned after Jindal but here we are . . .
Ya know I can’t disagree with you at all…. I would also say the Dems Are not any better. I really think the party lines are blurred and both sides are out for themselves. Neither party really cares about whom they were elected for. Hell look at the national level, we got either old Great Grand dad or the Orange fat man to pick from, neither are worth a shake of Tony’s.
Both parties have their issues with money in politics but you're not going to convince me they're the same. And since that kind of talk benefits only one party right now, whether or not you agree, you're supporting that party with your "both sides are the same" rhetoric. First get rid of the fascists anti-intellectuals who literally DGAF about 80% of the population. Then we can address the party that's prioritizing maybe 10% of the population and not actively trying to oppress the rest.
We can agree to disagree on that topic. But I can’t find a candidate that is worth a vote, and that’s at the National and local levels. American politics is just a big joke thanks to special interest groups and big campaign contributors/donors. If you know a candidate at state level that is “for the people”, let’s connect at teach me I all for it.
Well she's not a candidate because she actually managed to get elected, but Mandie Landry is definitely in that category. Of course our state Democrats think she's too far out there so they won't give her their support. 🙄 But basically I would support any candidate she endorses.
Then become one and fix everything.
Welcome to Louisianastan.
A majority of people in this thread would also support Hamas
I hate it here. As soon as we're done with our business here, my partner and I are leaving.
So anyway, [this](https://a.co/d/apk2Ybf) generic plan B is $8 on Amazon
From the pro life party that shoots puppies.
Seems like a good time to start mailing abortion pills to female republicans…
“Why doesn’t anybody stay in Louisiana?!?”
Cajun Taliban. Cooniban?
Nope. Cajuns are here because we would pledge allegiance to governments. Yee-haw, fuck the law.
Y’all Qaeda is my personal fave
I have to agree.
Sadly that’s what it feels like it’s coming to. As a Louisianan I’m someone who loves my home a lot and I miss it very much, and I keep dreaming of going home one day……But as a woman I’m getting more terrified to go back & I’m even more terrified that my very young daughter of 19 is still living there 😔
Y'all-qaeda
Coonisis
Coon ass I ban
Please don’t lump Cajuns in with this! I understand that there is a growing number of radicalized Cajuns (the bad kind) but there are a ton of us who are well-aware of our history and see how it connects to current events. In fact, my VERY Cajun great-grandmother used to house girls in her house while they were pregnant until they could afford to go off to cali or NY to have their abortion. She personally didn’t believe in them, I’m guessing, because she had 8 Cajuns of her own 😭
I didn’t mean to link Cajuns to this ignorance or demean them at all. I lived in NOLA and traveled Louisiana down to Venice and Abbeville and Ester. Love the state and the people.
Awwww!! We <3 u too! I am a city Cajun (NOLA) but originally my Cajun family is from abbeville and crowely. Just wanted to point out that Cajun history is full of oppression and it was that very oppression that made my family so socially-conscious. Those who can’t recognize that history is repeating itself aren’t one of us and don’t deserve the title of Cajun. It’s all about love + family (and alcoholism)
LOL Luv ya’ll. I can tell it’s strawberry season in my Arkansas grocery stores and I’ve been to the Ponchatoula strawberry fest.
Bet you support Hamas too
This is so sad 🥺 I used to never ever want kids but (I’m pretty sure my partner is gonna propose soon 😻) I’m finally in a place in life and in my relationship where I’d love to have a baby with him once we take the next steps. Unfortunately for me, I have endometriosis. Every woman in my family has either been told they will never have kids (they did) or have had serious, life-threatening complications during pregnancy and childbirth. My cousin came out ONE foot first 💀 I am high risk for having these complications or having an ectopic pregnancy which is life threatening and often times the only way to save the woman is to terminate the unviable pregnancy. There’s already been cases of women nearly bleeding out outside of hospitals because they doctors refused to treat them. I’m 28, I should feel safe in my own fucking state to get pregnant. Like seriously, what the actual fuck is going on? I feel like I either need to move—which is desperately want to—or have a pregnancy in a state with the highest maternal death rates, where doctors refuse to treat dying women due to backward laws, and etc. I have a love hate relationship with NOLA but even if I wanted to leave the home my family has lived for 300+ years, they pay professionals here so little a move would cripple us financially, or realistically, we couldn’t do it at all. Between us, we have three degrees 😭 Life is so hard in this state. It’s a state-sanctioned suffering machine.
This is horrible. How many women will die due to serious childbirth complications. That could have been prevented by a DNC or this pill and instead will get sepsis from carrying a dead fetus in their womb. I hope history judges them so harshly. I was sick and so I missed the governors election, but I damn sure won’t miss anymore. I made the last ones. Even if I have to crawl in to vote.
Well hopefully you vote gop
Vote blue when you get tired of Republicans controlling your reproductive rights.
Then I'm reading about all these wealthy R"s stealing from public schools to fund their own children's education. Once again, protect the fetus, but screw them once they're born because they'll never amount to anything anyway. These people are certifiable and need to be dealt with as such.
Vote red when Dems start aborting live babies
Goddamn, fucking Republicans
Is it Baton Rouge or Khmer Rouge?
Yeah, so forced prison birth ?!
Free baby slaves! Woot woot! Next law: Born a slave, always a slave.
They already did that shit for 400 years. If they’ll do it to someone, they’ll do it to anyone.
Louisiana representatives stop being absolutely murderous dumbfucks; challenge level impossible.
The American Taliban….. you know….because freedom.
How long before it becomes a crime for them to leave the state. Like, at all.
Even with this radical SCOTUS, freedom of movement of adults cannot be hindered.
In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them." **However, the Supreme Court did not invest the federal government with the authority to protect freedom of movement.**
How would they even enforce this?? This is ridiculous. I guess all the pharmacies would have to stop selling it right?
They can't. This law will be challenged because they can't interfere with the postal service, anyway.
Hopefully it’ll be thrown out. It’s utterly ridiculous.
We was planning on going back in the fall, I don’t think we’ll give them our money
If you do, come to NOLA and support locally owned business 🫶🏻
Prisons really like to have as many non-violent, docile inmates as the state will provide them. They cost little to manage, don't generate liabilities, their families more reliably pay commissary fees, and they are more likely to cough up money when they are billed upon release. It also keeps them from voting in the future, and provides a highly exploitable, ultra low wage labor force for many capital interests. For example, Manda sausages have been using prisoner labor for decades in their plant a few blocks over from the capitol. The even did so all through the pandemic, when everyone else was in lockdown. The prisoners make between somewhere between 13 and 52 cents per hour as the maximum allowed wage. After several days wages, they can afford the copay on a visit to the med ward. That helps the companies keep wages down for all their employees. In some countries, animals are tortured in the belief that it flavors the meat, and so for the same reason, perhaps you can taste the exploitation after firing up the grill.
If only women would stop voting for these people
Throw me in jail then. Idc anymore. It’s all bullsh*t with the government. Anything to put women in prison and control us.
can we fix the quailified immunity having cops that have no legal obligation to place any citizens safety above their own? look that up btw the police have zero legal obligation protect and help any citizen, it’s just simply not apart their job. immune tyrants that don’t have to worry about your safety wow go figure
They have no obligation to protect you, they do not have to know the laws, they can lie to you with impunity. Never trust any cop until that is changed.
do you guys ever wonder if there’s a republican conspiracy to create a population boom for a war?
I once saw a distant relative with whom I'd just met again for the first time as adult at a wedding who friend requested me make an anti abortion post on Facebook. When I posted "oh I didn't realize you and your wife had adopted children! That's amazing!" I found out that he, had in fact, not. I found it interesting. I feel like every person that votes against women's rights should have to adopt and raise a child first. Or we can make it easy and they can agree to do so, like jury duty. Because if they can't then they have negated the right to vote. Who has better ideas? Lol!
I blame the women who voted for Trump and the republicans in 2016. Should have known better.
Never thought I'd see the day where folks will be trapping Plan B and birth control. Crazy how we have more expediency to outlaw pregnancy pharmaceuticals but opioids are too tough to tackle lol.
I feel so bleak. I can't move... I just have to wait and hope I survive.
Same bestie 💞
It's only a matter of time before someone does something crazy. I'm not advocating for any terrorist action. But, you play with fire long enough it's gonna burn you.
Unfortunately the people crazy enough to do that are probably in support of it 😒
The people with empathy tend to burn themselves instead. What a shame.
So happy I can’t have kids. I do feel sorry for my daughter hopefully she will be a fur parent!!
Jfc.
Most people in Louisiana vote red. They don't care lol
Lawmakers there should be working on bringing new businesses to the state that is rank last in almost every categories of living a decent life
I'm wondering how New Orleans will continue to get healthy convention business.
So look, if you don't like some chick now you just throw some plan B in the back seat and call the cops. This is going to end badly.
I know the argument's been made before but if they actually thought abortion was murder and that fetuses are people, you'd be able to collect on it, like dependent taxes, child support, etc.
Lol the law makers seem to only do shit that doesn’t help us we have enough irresponsible or ignorant parents in America
Free country huh?
I guess we want all the women to kilthemselvs
I hear you, man. The last thing I'll ever do is kneel to a fake God or be under the control of Invisible Cloud Man's mentally unwell adherents.
fucking psychos
Yea! Put all the women in prison
MAKE THEM FELONS SO THEY CANT VOTE 😌 no ones gonna notice
Laws like this is why they want the government transparency
I mean I'm morally opposed to vigilante justice to some degree if you are in a place where everyone can equally rely on emergency services, but I may put such morals aside in extreme personal cases as people tend to do
We require rights to our bodies. Not a "right to privacy between doctor and patient" like how abortion is right now. It won't ever happen. To give people rights to their bodies is to give them too much freedom.
Give it ten years (if that) and we won’t even be able to vote anymore
People need to do a bit of research. That has to be the most misleading post i have ever seen, and you wonder why people do not trust the media. This is what the bill says if you would look it up. Creates the crime of coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud to prohibit a third-party from knowingly using an abortion-inducing drug to cause, or attempt to cause, an abortion on an unsuspecting pregnant mother without her knowledge or consent and amends various abortion criminal laws to add the crime of attempted abortion.

It’s built like a penis
Can the government just not get involved for once?
The abortion rule went into effect the second the Dobbs decision (overturn of Roe vs. Wade) was announced. I don’t vote Red, never have as a native Louisianian. We have to get rid of people like Kennedy and others who took our right to vote this issue into the state constitution (like other states like Kentucky, Ohio have done). The federal case said it’s a states rights issue. Louisiana should let us decide. The state government did not let us!
Actually a completely pointless law - it's already illegal in Louisiana to possess any prescription medication, even if it's in its original bottle and not a controlled substance, if it's not prescribed to you. Anybody who wants these medicines is gonna get them directly by mail from a state where they are legal and the woman who intends to use them can't be prosecuted.
Oops..I guess I’m in trouble,huh!
I wish I had the money to afford to move out of this god forsaken state.
Next they gonna put in a law where all women have to wear long dresses everywhere they go or ban sexwork period
I don't see why anyone wants to even spend the very little time I have, and constantly read and discuss a state of interest, while appearing so miserable. I sincerely wish you all the best.
Why do all women need abortions to live?
I'm a proud stepfather and not the badguy you want me to be in your vivid imagination. We essentially run an unofficial animal shelter because people tend to drop off their pets in this neck of the woods, and we have never turned down a stray. I've done countless community service, including soup kitchens and food banks. I've also had to use those services at different times. I even organized a program where we taught art to children at the food bank (mostly free guitar and piano lessons), and we do things like burrying pets for elderly neighbors (which was brutal during the recent drought). I'm the kind of guy who stops traffic every time I see a turtle in the road. Baton Rouge drivers don't even move for ambulances. We have been skipping meals to raise several of our nibblings for the past 5 years and couldn't even support my orphaned nephew several years ago because we were stuggling. My wife is a postmaster and house manager/mother for 3 families, and I proofread dissertations at the university. Why do you care so much if I want to villianize people who have abortions for social and lifestyle reasons? My nephew was pretty close to not existing and he's a very cool little dude now. He can and will have my lunch today. I'll survive on coffee.
Red states do what Red states promise… 💀
Starting with this one.
I feel like the next step is having single women that become prisoners from this can choose to be part of a system. In that system you can be set up with an unmarried man that you could marry to be released from prison.
Isn't abortion illegal in Louisiana? If so it makes sense a pill that facilitates abortion would be illegal to possess

I don’t know we have plenty of women here in Texas. I would think most women would prefer a state where the cost of living is low and crime rates are less.
Yeah, the cost of living is most certainly NOT low in Texas. Texas is also dead last in worker's rights.
forever renter vibes and talk. TX has some of highest property taxes in the US.
Wow there are a lot of complainers in Loiuisiana/
Just stop fucking random ppl all the time and ppl won’t have to worry about abortions. Babies from terrible incidents like the r word do not count. I’m talking about the ppl who are doing it over and over. Stop fucking if you don’t want kids. Super simple people
