Statement by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on the Louisiana Abortion Bill

The Louisiana legislature has taken the latest step in a growing attack against the fundamental freedoms of Americans. Louisiana's extreme bill will criminalize abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest and punish reproductive healthcare professionals with up to ten years in prison. The President is committed to protecting the constitutional rights of Americans afforded by Roe for nearly 50 years, and ensuring that women can make their own choices about their lives, bodies, and families. An overwhelming majority of the American people agree and reject these kinds of radical measures.
