Baton Rouge – This morning, Governor Jeff Landry signed the Justice for Victims of Abortion Drug Dealers Act (HB 575) in a signing ceremony with Representatives Lauren Ventrella and Julie Emerson, along with leaders at Louisiana Right to Life.
HB 575 by Reps. Lauren Ventrella and Julie Emerson empowers Louisiana citizens harmed by abortion to file lawsuits against abortion drug dealers, including predators and abusers, who unlawfully sell abortion services.
Policy Director for Louisiana Right to Life, Erica Inzina, J.D., said the following after the Governor’s signature:
We thank Governor Landry for signing HB 575 into law, furthering his life-long commitment of protecting life and helping moms. The reckless sale of abortion pills by out-of-state businesses has led to increased instances of women being coerced to have abortions. We look forward to HB 575 giving women hurt by abortion the opportunity to seek justice.
