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

The folks of central Louisiana are fortunate to have a thoughtful and intentional senator in Jay Luneau.

'Have the courage, the strength, and the wisdom to do the right thing.' #lalege

To Sen. Mills, thank you for your boldness and passion to support 'the little man' in defense of Louisiana families and their right for trans youth to receive needed healthcare #lalege

Say NO to tax credits for anti-abortion centers actionnetwork.org/call_campaigns…

John Raymond, the Republican Party of Louisiana state central committee member and Slidell pastor who faces felony child abuse allegations, is once again at the Capitol to advocate for this bill #lalege #lagov

.Commish. Davante Lewis, Louisiana's first openly gay elected state official, is speaking against LA's version of the 'don't say gay' bill. 'This is the first time I’ve ever talked about being gay at this dais, in any committee,' he said. 'But I feel a responsibility.' #lalege #lagov

This confirms the polling results we got in early April. And #lalege still opposed changes to the law that voters clearly support. #VoteThemAllOut

Thank the Senate Health Committee Members Who Opposed HB648
which would have Banned Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth latransadvocates.org/thank-you-hb648

Any guesses as to the lobbyists who didn’t want to the people to ruin their grip on the #lalege ?

Business, oil & gas, anti abortion…

From the Capitol steps in Baton Rouge yesterday, members of our

See which legislators voted against a bill that would allow doctors to end a pregnancy if the patient was miscarrying or having other serious complications #lalege instagram.com/p/CsUSEyBxaqm/…

Several of these same lawmakers (Villio, Seabaugh, Edmonston, Horton) voting against these bills, also voted against providing period products in schools. They are showing us who they are and clearly they don’t care about women.

An state attorney working for @AGJeffLandry is vigorously testifying against Candace Newell's legislation. #lalege #lagov

On to the next bill...

Rep. Mary DuBuisson's legislation that would lower the threshold for a legal, early termination of a pregnancy that is already being lost to miscarriage. #lalege #lagov

Lawmakers are taking up two bills today to clarify what medical conditions (including miscarriage) could be used to seek a legal abortion under Louisiana's abortion ban.

They are unlikely to get through the committee. Here's some background: lailluminator.com/2023/05/10/lou… #lalege

Horton said she hasn't heard from any doctors in North Louisiana who have had issues with the abortion ban.

At least 1 doctor from North Louisiana -- a specialist who treats women with high-risk pregnancies -- has said the ban is unclear. #lalege lailluminator.com/2022/11/01/lou…

In Louisiana, rape survivors are denied access to their own medical records.

OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD. Louisiana lawmakers yanked any and all r*pe and inc*st exceptions out of their abortion bill and the reasons were so OUTRAGEOUS we had to make big ol' graphics of them with some big “this you?” energy.

Multiple victims of rape have shared their stories today, while supporting a bill that would add rape as an exception to Louisiana's abortion ban.

One victim said there is no doubt in her mind, if she was forced to carry her rapist's baby that she would have died by suicide.
