Protecting women and unborn babies is a bipartisan issue that should be uncontroversial, but Democrats and the media are losing their minds.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You wouldn\u2019t know it from pro-abortion corporate media and Democrats\u2019 commentary, but a bipartisan coalition of Louisiana legislators in the state House passed a bill this week that\u00a0aims to punish<\/a>\u00a0anyone who knowingly tries to induce chemical abortion in a woman without her consent \u2014 the \u201ccrime of coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislation also changes the drug classification of mifepristone and misoprostol to ensure possession of the\u00a0most popular<\/a>\u00a0abortifacient combination on the market without a prescription is illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cCatherine and Josephine Herring Act\u201d was created and named for sponsor Sen. Thomas Pressly\u2019s sister and then-unborn niece whose lives were threatened when their ex-husband and father, respectively, drugged them using an abortion pill from Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catherine and Josephine survived the attack thanks to the abortion pill reversal regime that Democrats and corporate media routinely<\/a> smear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was no \u2018choice\u2019 involved when my husband slipped abortion drugs into my drinks seven times,\u201d\u00a0Herring recalled.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cI suffered serious side effects from the drugs that almost took my daughter\u2019s life. As a survivor of domestic violence, I\u2019m grateful for Louisiana\u2019s willingness to protect women and children from those who intend to harm them with abortion drugs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Poisoning an expectant mother, especially without her knowledge, the bill notes, \u201csubstantially increases the pregnant woman\u2019s risk of death or serious bodily harm.\u201d Mifepristone and misoprostol together are responsible<\/a> for a 500 percent increase<\/a> in abortion-related emergency room visits for side effects such as hemorrhage<\/a>, \u201cfast, weak pulse,\u201d \u201cshortness of breath,\u201d diarrhea, dizziness, headache, nausea or vomiting<\/a>, \u201cpain\u201d across the back, arms, neck, and abdomen<\/a>, a myriad of other risks<\/a>, and sometimes fatal complications<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protecting women and their unborn babies is a proven bipartisan issue that should be uncontroversial. Vice President Kamala Harris, however, called Lousiana\u2019s latest attempt to do so \u201cabsolutely unconscionable\u201d and falsely claimed it \u201cwould criminalize the possession of medication abortion, with penalties of up to several years of jail time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet\u2019s be clear: Donald Trump did this,\u201d she\u00a0wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

U.S. House Minority Whip Katherine Clark shared a similar conspiracy theory on her X account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn just the last 24 hours, Trump opened the door to banning birth control while his allies in Louisiana voted to criminalize the abortion pill. GOP extremists are coming after our most basic freedoms. Don\u2019t look away,\u201d she\u00a0wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Pro-life laws<\/a> in Louisiana, even with the introduction and passage of the new abortion pill bill, explicitly exempt pregnant women who have a prescription for abortifacients from the new fines and jail time. They also do \u201cnot apply to the sale, use, prescription, or administration of a contraceptive or an emergency contraceptive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not even that truth, however, stopped the corporate media from joining the misinformation dogpile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Associated Press\u00a0claimed the bill<\/a>, which still needs approval from the state Senate and a signature from the Republican governor, is \u201ca move that doctors fear could prevent them from adequately treating their patients in a timely manner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NPR complained<\/a> that the \u201cproposed regulation could also target people who aren\u2019t pregnant, but want to order abortion pills online and stock them in case of a future pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fearmongering by abortion activists about the Louisiana bill is a direct attempt to dredge up public contempt for Republicans who act on voters\u2019 wishes about life in the womb.\u00a0Polling suggests<\/a>\u00a0a majority of registered voters do not agree that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration vetted the abortion pill \u201ccarefully enough to protect the health and safety of women\u201d before approving it for widespread use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Supreme Court will decide this summer if the FDA, at the behest of the Biden administration, violated the law when it expanded the questionable abortion drug regimen via\u00a0mail order<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0pharmacy sale<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
