“There is nothing natural about leaving a doctor's office or a hospital with a dead or dying baby inside of you,' one woman legislator pleaded at the hearing.
Rep. Tony Bacala added that he thinks the law is clear that treatment for ectopic pregnancies is legal, to which Avegno pushed back. “If it was as clear as you’re saying, then my colleagues wouldn’t be confused and they wouldn’t be advocating for this,” she said, noting that doctors are wondering if they can continue practicing in the state,. One healthcare worker testified that there has been a drop in applications to residency programs since the ban went into effect last year.
Ultimately, the arguments for the bill proved ineffective for the GOP legislators on the committee, and Republican lawmakers “deferred” the bill, effectively blocking it from going to the House floor for a full vote. DuBuisson’s bill focusing on miscarriage failed similarly. She tried to stress that she, too, was a “pro-life” Republican, but that the health of pregnant people should not be a partisan issue.
Bacala once again claimed that the abortion ban is already clear enough, to which Du Buisson retorted, “We wouldn’t be at this table if it was so clear.”Louisiana Right to Life testified that the “abortion industry” is trying to “get its foot back into the door” with these bills. “I just think, members, that it’s very interesting that the bar continues to move with the Louisiana Right to Life,” DuBuisson said in her closing statement. She said it was difficult for her to believe that legislators could hear the testimony of “women close to death because of having to carry a nonviable pregnancy” and not be moved.
Louisiana Right to Life and the legislators following their lead have made clear that they feel that conceding that the current abortion ban is vague could jeopardize it in court, whereas potentially putting scores of pregnant people’s lives at risk is apparently a sacrifice they’re willing to make.
