The Louisiana legislature has passed a key pro-life bill aiming to crack down on illegal sales of abortion pills in the state so its abortion ban can truly protect unborn children.
The state legislature has signed off on House Bill 575 – which passed yesterday allowing women to sue anyone who “knowingly performed or substantially facilitated” an abortion for at least $100,000 in damages.
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 abuser.

With pro-abortion states like New York refusing to assist pro-life states like Louisiana in prosecuting illegal abortion pill sellers, this legislation would empower women injured by abortion pills to sue the sellers – which could help put them out of business or prompt them to stop selling abortion pills in the pro-life state for fear of legal accountability.
Executive Director for Louisiana Right to Life, Benjamin Clapper, said the following after the Senate passage:
We applaud the Louisiana Senate for passing these two pro-life bills that continue Louisiana’s legacy of defending life and protecting women from the abortion industry. The reckless sale of abortion pills by out-of-state businesses have led to increased instances of women being coerced to have abortions. HB 575 and HB 425 strengthen laws to prevent coerced abortion and allow women hurt by abortion to seek justice.
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.
