Louisiana Advances Bill To Criminalize Abortion In Wake of Supreme Court Leak



If Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion would immediately be outlawed in Louisiana. The state legislature advanced a bill yesterday that would charge mothers and providers with homicide. The group that helped write the bill says they are working with at least a dozen other states on anti-abortion legislation. Some states are taking action to expand access to abortion, as Senate Democrats’ effort to pass legislation is expected to fail. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

  1. Fantastic bill, this is a W. Baby murder is finally gonna be treated the same as homicide somewhere in this country.

  2. Try the method of holding a quarter between your knees when on a date until you get married, a silver dollar if you think you're worth more!

  3. The government does not have the right at any level to enter and regulate a woman's body….Period!!! Women, STAND AND DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO FREE CHOICE!!!

  4. Look am praying…all lifes r real..

  5. Every woman has the God appointed right to decide what she does with her womb! Neither her body nor her life are a possession of government, court, legislator, police or law enforcement person, church or other living soul. The Supreme Court Judges, the Senate and House of Representatives, The President of The United States and Law Enforcement People have no authority except that which is given by the citizens of our country. The citizens have the power to remove any authority granted to all government officials even when many government officials desire the citizens to be afraid of their own government. That being said….women have to make their voices not only heard but, as citizens, demand that their voices be obeyed! Let government officials know that any intrusion into or against their God given right of self determination about their bodies will not be tolerated under any circumstance. Fight like bloody h _ _ l and do not surrender your God given rights to The Supreme Court or any branch of our government….no matter what price is demanded. Live Free or Die!!! God Bless America and may we all keep America free!

  6. I want to know how killing a baby was ever legal anyways in this evil country ??

  7. I wonder how many of the people writing these bills have wombs.

  8. Louisiana plans to set forth a bill criminalizing people who have iuds. Some feel it may lead to “abortion murder” when iud isn’t a form of murder.

  9. The for-profit-media stirs up manic-schizophrenia so the hillbillies will watch more for-profit adds. FOA…

  10. About 39 years ago I was close to 13 weeks pregnant and had an abortion.  Near the end of the abortion the nurse said 'O My God' and stared for about a minute and left.  The doctor continued staring for about a minute or two longer. While staring he briefly placed his hand on my knee to try to reassure me.  I could see they were in shock and knew they watched my baby die. My legs were draped so I could not see.  I want to stop abortions. Heart pumping blood day 21, brain waves day 40.   see Baby Center- Fetal Development Week By Week which states on week 11 the baby can FEEL if the belly is gently poked on mom,  is kicking and stretching, almost fully developed.  Look at the pictures – the fetus looks like a developed baby.  bible "You knitted me in my mother's womb".  I believe abortion is socially accepted birth control taught by the powerful examples set by society.  I was told at the appointment the fetus was just tissue – the same lie told today despite the advanced technology showing the truth.  The greatest holocaust was not from Hitler's Nazi regime – but from the brutal abortion of innocent lives.

  11. Yeh Mormons and scientology

  12. No BEING = no murder. "Life" does not automatically translate to a BEING existing.  If one defines a baby as an actual human BEING, then a fetus is not automatically a BEING. It cannot be until a certain point of development (which begins around the 24th week of pregnancy). Pro-lifers have beliefs that require they conflate the issue in order to cling to their beliefs.

  13. I'm glad to see Louisiana moving this abortion issue in the right direction.

  14. America: The wealthiest 3rd world country

  15. It is ridiculous that the women are the ones that suffer because there are never any penalties for the sperm donors, as we can't call them fathers. Either the woman delivers the kid and abandons it suffering mentally or has the illegal abortion taking chances at her life. The guy never faces any responsibility or consequences. Welcome to the "justice system".

  16. They should be more busy trying to find better health care for children better education for children vote blue get these people gone now.

  17. Under the Unborn victims of violence act 2004, murdering a pregnant women counts as a double homicide when it’s an embryo. You can’t have it both ways here.

  18. I thought it was already a crime to put a hit on someone. Not sure if the hitman gets a harsher sentence tho.

  19. God will judge the woman who does it. Amen.

  20. Doctors should be charged with homicide. No ifs, butts or ands.

  21. Don't forget to thank your mother this Mother's day for not aborting you!

  22. Gotta make more slaves. Harvest more organs. Fill up the prisons.

  23. Women….WE ARE CITIZENS IN THE SHADOWS, RISE UP AND TURN THE LIGHTS ON. MEN MOVE OVER YIUR DAYS ARE DONE!

  24. Louisiana second as the poorest, least educated and single home dwelling state for children, who are citizens. Fetus is more important than children, and they always have been third in line after the men who abandoned them.
    When, will the sperm donors have any consequences or responsibility?

  25. Glad to hear deep fried trash is alive and well in Louisiana politics.

  26. I haven't read the entire legislaton but I hope *mandatory death penalty* is part of it….murder is murder.

  27. Imagine that, Democrats wanting to fight for the right to murder babies are violent monsters bent on killing off their own species. And at the same time proclaim human rights for themselves to do just that. Disgusting. I will never support pro choice, ever.
