SiX in the Press: A Louisiana Law Could Kill Women Giving Birth & Other States May Copy It
Duplicating restrictions is a longtime strategy of the anti-abortion movement, said Jennifer Driver, senior director of reproductive rights at the State Innovation Exchange Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council. “It would be very naive of us to think that Louisiana is going to be the only state to introduce a law [criminalizing these drugs],” she said. She pointed to states like Florida and Oklahoma that moved to copy the 2021 Texas “bounty hunter law” that let private citizens sue each other over abortions. (A criminal ban now supersedes that law.)
