We need your help to defend life in the Capitol and make sure these abortion-on-demand groups do not claim victory in Louisiana.  WE NEED TO WIN, because if we lose, unborn children and their mothers will lose as well.

Louisiana Right To Life makes a significant investment in representing the pro-life cause day in and day out at the Legislature. Our Legislative Director, Deanna Wallace, will be walking the halls of the Capitol daily.

Here's a brief summary of the legislation we are moving forward this session (drafted in consultation with the Bioethics Defense Fund):

• The Women's Enhanced Reflection Act would increase the current time for reflection between pre-abortion counseling and the abortion procedure from 24 hours to 72 hours, allowing women a chance to further reflect on all their options.  Pregnancy centers in Missouri have reported an increase in the number of women who decided against abortion after a similar law was passed there.
   
• The Unborn Child Dignity Act would prohibit the sale or donation of human body parts that are harvested as a result of an elective abortion. Remember those terrible videos? This bill would prevent that in Louisiana. 
   
• The Defunding Planned Parenthood Act would prohibit entities that perform abortions, or contract with those who perform abortions, from receiving public funding for any purpose.
   
• The Board Certification Requirement for Abortion Providers Act would require that abortion providers be board certified in order to be qualified to perform the invasive surgical procedure of abortion.


• The Compassionate Burial Options Act would require hospitals to inform parents who suffer the tragedy of miscarriage that they have a option to bury or cremate their child. This would allow parents to properly grieve the loss and can facilitate the healing process for the family.
