It must be terrifying to be pregnant in Louisiana right now. The state broadly banned abortion, thanks to a 2006 trigger law that went into effect after the savages on the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the 2022 Dobbs decision and handed control of women’s bodies to the states, subject to the whims of insane Christian nationalists and terrible leaders. It’s awful in many states, and Louisiana is one of the worst. The only exceptions to the abortion bans in Louisiana are if the mother’s life is in imminent danger and if the fetus is considered “medically futile,” a term not recognized by, you know the medical community, and wouldn’t survive. No exceptions for rape or incest.
