Louisiana House of Representatives passes bill criminalizing abortion coercion by fraud and illegal possession of abortion drugs, sparking controversy.
The GOP-controlled Louisiana House of Representatives advanced a bill Tuesday evening that criminalizes abortion coerced 'by means of fraud' and also makes it illegal to possess two abortion drugs without a valid prescription by a 64-29 vote. The bill, which now heads to the state Senate, would penalize coercers – with fines between $50,000 to $100,000 and 10 to 20 years imprisonment – who prey 'on an unsuspecting pregnant mother without her knowledge or consent.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America regional director Caitlin Connors told Fox News Digital in a statement the bill is 'necessary in a world where pro-abortion Democrats have enabled abusers to coerce and poison mothers with dangerous abortion drugs by removing in-person doctor visits and giving abortionists immunity through shield laws.'
