Lift Louisiana

Can you call your State Representative TODAY and tell them you want diapers and period products to remain exempt from state sales tax? Just call (877) 606-4887 to be connected to your Rep.

12 years ago today I saved my wife’s life by making the choice to end my daughter’s. @arhennrich had a placental abruption and I had to make a split second decision to abort Addison and save Amber. If lawyers would have been needed to be consulted before care was given Amber would be dead and I wouldn’t have Braydon and Brynlee. Proper available reproductive care creates my family. I will do everything I can to make sure that choice is available to all who need it. No one is pro-abortion, but being pro-choice is the true way to be pro-life. #BodilyAutonomy is about allowing patients and their families make decisions with medical providers based on their situation. We must restore Federal protections for all to see their DR without interference. If you agree or disagree please share our story. Being open is the only way we can have a discussion on topics like this.

Not even a full week later the Georgia Supreme Court put a hold on the lower courts decision allowing the immoral 6-week ban to go back into effect. nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna1…

Abortion "after birth" is not a thing. Anti-abortion politicians often tell lies to try and demonize abortion providers and abortion later in pregnancy, but we know the truth. We must support abortion providers and people who need abortion care later in pregnancy.

The decision about whether, when, or how to become a parent is one of the most important life decisions we make. We should be able to do so without barriers and political interference and free from fear or criminalization.

The voters in the state support abortion rights. Including Louisiana. 53% of voters in Louisiana want our constitution to protect abortion rights.

The #presidentialdebate2024 turns to the question of abortion.

#Project2025 actually does call for “abortion surveillance” It calls for the CDC to collect data on people who have abortions, or pregnancy complications requiring states to report  (pg 455)

If you want to see the future of GOP governance, look no further than what Jeff Landry is doing in Louisiana. I spent time with the governor to understand the roots of his crusade to change the state — and the nation. rollingstone.com/politics/polit… @RollingStone

@LARighttoLife We are just going to keep posting this here every time you lie about how your destructive laws are impacting pregnancy care. liftlouisiana.org/s/Criminalized…

While abortion advocates spread lies to confuse the public about the reality of pro-life laws, physicians agree that the law is clear: Louisiana protects the ability of physicians to serve women and unborn babies with skill and compassion.

Thank you Robert Mann. This is so good. Rooted in facts, and the clearest depiction of the political landscape in Louisiana as it relates to reproductive healthcare. What a read! Thank you ❤️ open.substack.com/pub/robertmann…

@LizMurrillforLA Maybe @LizMurrillforLA should take some time to read this report 2/2 liftlouisiana.org/s/Criminalized…

@LizMurrillforLA Once again our Attorney General has her facts wrong. And she has decided that her time is best spent on dismissing the tragic experience of Kaitlyn Joshua, pregnant people, and doctors across the state. 1/2

Once again, the Democrats have their facts wrong. There is nothing in our bipartisan law that prohibits emergency care for someone having a miscarriage or any emergency situation during pregnancy. Nothing. Hard stop. 🧵1/2 #DNC2024 #lalege

This is the most disgraceful attack that the LA Right to Life has pushed. We will not be silent as they push their lies and dismiss Kaitlyn’s experience and the experience of countless others that have been impacted by this dangerous abortion ban.

We’re with Kaitlyn. #KaitlynJoshua #LaLege

@LARighttoLife We’ve seen @LARighttoLife do some despicable things over the years, but this has got to be a new low! You have shown by this disgusting post that you do not care AT ALL about women or pregnant people or families. Shame on you!

🧵‼️ BREAKING: Louisiana Right to Life, Black Advocates for Life and Local Doctor Respond to Kaitlyn Joshua at DNC New Orleans: On Monday, Louisiana native Kaitlyn Joshua shared her miscarriage experience with attendees at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago. In reports, Joshua cites issues at healthcare facilities in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her miscarriage was first reported to media outlets in December 2022.  A New Orleans based OBGYN, Dr. Angela Parise, provided a statement regarding the protocols utilized for pregnant women since the reversal of Roe v. Wade: “As an OBGYN in New Orleans, my practice to care for mothers and babies has not changed since the overturn of Roe v. Wade. I am still able to care for women in a variety of situations, including emergencies. It is unfortunate that misinformation continues to confuse the public.   I regularly see women who are pregnant well before 12 weeks gestation. There is nothing in Louisiana law that prevents doctors from seeing women prior to 12 weeks gestation.    Furthermore, I commonly treat patients suffering from the tragedy of miscarriage. Louisiana law is clear that physicians can provide miscarriage management. As doctors and medical institutions, we must love and care for these women with compassion and not abandon them to suffer alone.” Tara Wicker, the Director of Louisiana Black Advocates for Life, also responded to Joshua's testimony at the DNC: "There is no denying Kaitlyn Joshua experienced inadequate healthcare in the community I love dearly. I also acknowledge there are systemic problems in our health system, which especially impacts women of color. However, these problems are not alleviated or solved by legal abortion, and they are not the result of Louisiana pro-life laws protecting babies from abortion. Nearly 50-years of Roe v. Wade has demonstrated the destruction and harm it brings women and their families. Our focus needs to be on wholistic care for pregnant women that considers the needs of both the mother and the baby." Sarah Zagorski, the Communications Director for Louisiana Right to Life, provided the following statement:  “It is a tragedy that Kaitlyn Joshua received subpar medical care at our own hospitals because of a gross misinterpretation of Louisiana's pro-life laws. Her experience is heartbreaking but is not due to the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, as the two hospitals reportedly said in a statement…” 1/3

@LARighttoLife I guess I need to remind you again that 30 providers reported that Louisiana’s abortion ban has led to the delay and denial of critical care to pregnant people. liftlouisiana.org/s/Criminalized…

@schillingwrites @votelandry They are still in effect.

#lalege had the chance to fix this but they do whatever La Right to Life tells them to do.

Sen. Fred Mills has scheduled a public hearing with the Senate Health and Welfare Committee on the $100 million reduction to @LADeptHealth next Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. #lalege #lagov

@LARighttoLife @LAGOP blocked efforts to change the abortion laws to stop these tragedies from happening.
