A fourteen-year-old girl in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, was arrested after the secret delivery and killing of her newborn baby, highlighting a tragic situation involving a minor. Louisiana's Safe Haven Law allows parents to safely and anonymously surrender newborns up to sixty days old at designated locations, including hospitals, fire stations, and law enforcement stations, with new Safe Haven Baby Boxes installed in Slidell and Covington to provide additional secure surrender options.
The State Medical Board of Ohio suspended Dr. Hassan Abbas's license after he administered abortion pills obtained online to his pregnant girlfriend without her consent, including forcibly giving her the pills while she was sleeping. Similar cases in Louisiana involve women being coerced to take abortion pills obtained through online telemedicine providers, highlighting concerns about the lack of proper regulation and enforcement regarding abortion drugs. Legitimate medical providers do not prescribe abortion drugs without verifying identity and diagnosing the patient, and the misuse of telemedicine for abortion pill distribution is criticized as medical malpractice and drug dealing. Louisiana law allows women harmed by abortion pills to hold distributors accountable, and coerced abortion is a crime in the state, with authorities encouraging victims to report their experiences.
