The Safe Haven Awareness in Schools Act requires public high schools and middle schools to post signage on the backs of bathroom stalls educating students on the Safe Haven Law. This bill aims to inform teens facing an unexpected pregnancy that help is available to them. This bill comes after a newborn was found dead at the home of a 14 year old mother in Livingston Parish. Had the mother taken advantage of the Safe Haven Law and called 911, law enforcement could have saved the life of this baby. It is our hope that this bill could save the life of a future baby who would otherwise be in danger.

HB 261 seeks to legalize abortion in cases of rape and incest. If enacted, this bill would put mothers and babies at risk. It is the position of Louisiana Right to Life that every person deserves the same protection under the law, regardless of the nature of their conception. Rape and incest are terrible, traumatic experiences, and abortion further adds to this trauma. Louisiana offers resources that help mom AND baby, while law enforcement and the criminal justice system should work to hold those accountable who violate women.

HB 611 would require pregnancy centers that provide βhealthcare servicesβ to be licensed by the Louisiana Department of Health. HB 611 is unnecessary and would place additional burdens on the amazing work of pregnancy centers that provide critical assistance to moms and babies.
HB 611 is flagship legislation of the abortion industry. A vote for this bill is a vote to join states like California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey, the only other states that impose licensing requirements on pregnancy centers. These pro-abortion states are not friendly to pregnancy centers.
-- Medical Pregnancy Centers Already Operate Under Licensed Medical Oversight: Pregnancy centers that provide medical services such as pregnancy testing or ultrasound already operate under the supervision of a licensed medical director. This legislation duplicates oversight that is already in place.
-- The Licensing Process Would Place an Undue Burden on Pregnancy Centers:
Pregnancy resource centers are often small, non-profit organizations that rely on limited funding and staff. The licensing process and ongoing compliance requirements may force some of the smaller, more rural pregnancy resource centers to stop providing ultrasounds and pregnancy tests. This would be a disservice to women in rural communities who already face limited healthcare resources.
HB 611 is not about health and safety. It is a thinly-veiled attack on pregnancy centers that provide valuable free resources to otherwise underserved women and families.

While on the face, HB 931 may seem like reasonable legislation: it precludes pregnancy centers from participation in state-funded programs if they condition a clientβs receipt of services on a requirement that clients attend or watch religious instruction. HB 931 further compels the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to investigate any public complaint.
We oppose HB 931 because:
It is completely unnecessary. Pregnancy centers are not forcing anyone to receive religious services or instruction. While they do offer spiritual services, they are not required.
It is an attempt to scare pregnancy centers from offering religious service, even though state and federal law allows them to provide such a service even while receiving state funding for other services. It will also scare centers from participating in state funding programs.
It opens the door to false accusations that will send DCFS on countless investigations and require pregnancy centers who are only striving to help moms and babies to defend their actions.
