A Louisianian state House committee took the first steps today in holding abortionists criminally accountable for killing babies in abortions once Roe v. Wade is overturned. The legislation would make it so abortionists would face fines and prison sentences of up to 20 years for ending the lives of little unborn children.
Here’s more: The House Health and Welfare committee passed 10-2 a bill by Sen. Katrina Jackson , a Monroe Democrat, that would set criminal penalties for anyone who provides an abortion if the Supreme Court overturns abortion rights and lets Louisiana’s existing trigger law go into effect. The trigger law bans all abortions in the state with a narrow exception only to save the life of the pregnant person or prevent permanent damage to a life-sustaining organ. Under Jackson’s bill, anyone who provides an abortion for a person up to 15 weeks along in their pregnancy could get up to 10 years in prison and pay up to $100,000 in fines. For pregnancies past 15 weeks, those penalties would double to up to 20 years in prison and $200,000 in fines. The bill specifically exempts the pregnant person from these penalties. The bill defines ‘unborn child’ as beginning at fertilization to ensure that drugs and devices that cause abortions are included.

Louisiana already has a trigger law that will protect unborn babies by banning abortions as soon as Roe v. Wade is overturned. Because of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, states are prohibited from banning abortions before unborn babies are viable.
Louisiana is a pro-life state, and its governor, John Bel Edwards, is a rare pro-life Democrat who has signed a number of pro-life bills into law. If the Supreme Court overturns Roe , as […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
