On Tuesday, the Louisiana Senate voted<\/a> 35-0 to pass HB 488<\/a>, which would require that abortionists be board certified or certifiable in family medicine or obstetrics and gynecology.<\/p>\n

The bill, introduced by pro-life Democrat State Representative Katrina Jackson, would also provide that students in OB\/GYN or family medicine residency programs could only perform abortions under a board-certified physician’s direct supervision.<\/p>\n

Jackson says the new requirements are necessary for patient safety. As Live Action News has covered<\/a>, other states such as California have gone in the opposite direction by pushing for non-physicians to be permitted to perform abortions, despite a study cited by proponents of the change showing it would increase the likelihood of patients suffering complications.<\/p>\n

HB 488 previously passed the state House 87-0, and now goes to pro-life Democrat Governor John Bel Edwards for his signature. It follows recently-advanced legislation in Louisiana to ban dismemberment abortions<\/a>, study abortion pill reversal<\/a>, require a 72-hour waiting period for abortion<\/a>, and defund Planned Parenthood<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
