HB215
Respect the Survivor’s Autonomy and Dignity
When a young person — a child — experiences the horror of sexual violence, their world is shattered. They lose a sense of safety, of trust, and of control over their own life.
To then force that child to carry a pregnancy that resulted from that violence is not just cruel — it is unthinkable. It compounds the trauma. It tells them that after their body was taken from them once, it will be taken from them again.
By forcing survivors who want abortions to give birth, you are forcing them to forever be connected and controlled by their rapists. You are forcing them to experience another trauma.
Compassion demands that society respond with care, not coercion, by offering options — including abortion.
HB 215 by Representative Delisha Boyd would ensure that young survivors of rape and incest can access abortion care and reclaim control over their life, body, and future..
The overwhelming majority of Louisiana voters (70%) support this exception.
Send a letter to the Committee Members to urge their support for HB 215
