Man Poisons Wife & Baby with Abortion Drugs?? AWFUL!

Man Poisons Wife with Abortion Pill

Session Begins - Stop the Abortion Amendment!

Good afternoon Benjamin,

You may have heard the awful story out of Texas where a husband drugged his pregnant wife's drink with abortion drugs he illegally ordered in an attempt to forcibly abort their unborn child.

The husband, Mason Herring, plead guilty to injury of a child and assault of a pregnant woman. His charge for these heinous crimes? Only 180 days in prison. Give me a break! Catherine Herring, the victim of the attempted forced-abortion, spoke out on the ruling, calling it "a flagrant and profound injustice," according to the NY Times.

Remarkably, State Senator Thomas Pressly (R-Shreveport) is the brother of Catherine Herring. Senator Pressly felt convicted by this heart-wrenching attack and reached out to me. We then worked together to file the Abortion By Fraud Criminalization Act (SB 276). The bill would create a new crime of "coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud" to give law enforcement proper means to prosecute those who use deceit and manipulation to harm pregnant women and their unborn children.

Unfortunately, the dangerous and reckless abortion pill policy of the Biden Administration could have cost Senator Pressly the lives of his sister and niece! It is too easy for men intent on ending the life of an unborn baby, often against the will of the pregnant woman, to acquire abortion pills.

We applaud Senator Pressly for taking action to hold accountable those individuals looking to poison a pregnant woman with an abortion pill against her will.

The legislative session just got started this week, and we are already on the ground to advance this bill and others. Take a look below at our agenda!

For a Pro-Life Louisiana,

P.S. Thank you to Senator Cassidy for inviting me to the State of the Union! See my reaction to Biden's abortion remarks.

P.P.S. Take a look P.S. Lake Charles pro-life youth retreat, PULSE, is fast approaching on March 23rd. Register your teen today!

LEGISLATIVE SESSION BEGINS

STOP THE ABORTION UNTIL BIRTH AMENDMENT!

On Monday, the 2024 Legislative Session began at the State Capitol in Baton Rouge! Session will continue through June 3rd. Louisiana Right to Life will be active at the Capitol to defend life, help moms, and advance adoption!

Unfortunately, there are a number of pro-abortion bills that were filed, including a constitutional amendment that would legalize abortion until birth! We will be working hard to defeat these bills in the legislature. We need you to contact your elected officials and urge them to vote pro-life!

Bills we are supporting (in addition to SB 276):

SB 312: Adoption Awareness Act by Sen. Rick Edmonds
Creates a new program that promotes to Louisiana citizens the benefits of choosing infant adoption for birth-mothers, babies, and adoptive parents.

SB 278: Louisiana Pregnancy and Baby Care Initiative Act by Sen. Katrina Jackson and Rep. Jack McFarland
Establishes a new social services program to support women facing unplanned pregnancies and to offer a full range of services, including pregnancy support services, parenting help, and adoption assistance.

SB 325: Compatible with Love Empowerment Act by Sen. Rick Edmonds
Updates existing law to ensure that those individuals facing the tragic news that their unborn child has a fetal genetic anomaly receive information that can assist them in caring for their child both before and after birth.

Main bills we are opposing:

HB 245: Abortion Until Birth Constitutional Amendment by Rep. Aimee Adatto Freeman
A dangerous pro-abortion constitutional amendment that would legalize abortion up until birth in Louisiana and require tax-dollars to fund abortion.
HB 164: Legalizing Abortion in Cases of Rape and Incest Without Police Report Act by Rep. Delisha Boyd
Louisiana Right to Life believes that every person deserves the equal chance at life and that every mother should be helped. This bill legalizes abortion in cases of rape and incest. If passed, HB 164 would not require any police report or other evidence that the rape took place.

We need you to take action NOW to stop the abortion amendment in its tracks!

HONOREE: The Baton Rouge Youth Pilgrimage to the March for Life

KEYNOTE: Sean Corcoran

The 10th annual Bowties for Babies will feature delicious food and beverages, live music and dancing, a silent auction, the presentation of our 2024 Leadership for Life award, fellowship, and more!

Bowties for Babies fuels our Advertise for Life Initiative, which connects women considering abortion with pregnancy and parenting support and changes the hearts and minds of Louisianans through compelling marketing campaigns and advertisements.

Since 2019, at least 106 babies have been saved from abortion because of our advertisements!
In 2023 alone, our pregnancy help advertisements have been viewed 145,765 times!
These 2023 advertisements resulted in 8,596 combined website clicks and phone calls to Louisiana pregnancy centers.

The Pilgrimage has inspired thousands of high school students since 2007, empowering them to march for life with hundreds of thousands of other students in Washington, D.C. each January.

The Pilgrimage is a ministry of St. Michael the Archangel High School, was founded by Peter Fletcher, and is now directed by Emily Froeba.

As a 19-year-old young man, Sean’s life was forever changed when his first child was the victim of an abortion.

He learned first-hand that fathers have no choice and no voice in the matter, and he was forced to stand idly by while his son was murdered before ever getting a chance to breathe, to speak, to live his life.

Will you become a life-saving patron of Bowties for Babies, today?
