Since the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022, abortion laws are decided state by state. Louisiana has one of the most restrictive laws surrounding abortion in the country with exceptions only if the life of the mother is threatened or the fetus will not survive a continued pregnancy. The abortion laws in Louisiana should be less restrictive to include exceptions for cases of rape or incest and to allow abortion up until the twelfth week of pregnancy. At 12 weeks, abortions are much safer with a significantly lower risk of complications. If you support this effort, please indicate by signing the petition.
