Opposed fetal heartbeat bill banning early abortions

SB184: Provides that it is unlawful for any person to knowingly perform an abortion with the specific intent of causing or abetting the termination of the life of an unborn human being when a fetal heartbeat has been detected.

Analysis by ABC News (May 30, 2019): The bill itself is similar to some of the other so-called "heartbeat" bills that have been signed into law elsewhere in that it bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which is as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. Unlike some other bills and other existing abortion laws, the Louisiana bill does not include exceptions in cases of rape and incest.

Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 31-5-3 on May/6/19; State Sen. Troy Carter voted NO; Passed House 79-23-3 on May/29/19; Signed by Governor John Bel Edwards on May/30/19.
