House Bill No. [insert number] proposes amendments to Louisiana's abortion laws by establishing exceptions for pregnancies resulting from specific sex offenses against victims under the age of 17. The bill enacts a new provision under R.S. 14:87.1(1)(b)(vii), which clarifies that the term "abortion" does not include the termination of a pregnancy that is the result of various offenses, including rape, first degree rape, second degree rape, third degree rape, sexual battery, felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile, molestation of a juvenile or a person with a disability, and crimes against nature.

Additionally, the proposed law specifies that these exceptions do not necessitate a police or investigatory report, forensic evidence from the pregnant individual, or a prosecution of the alleged offense. This legislation aims to provide clarity and support for victims of sexual offenses, ensuring that they have access to necessary medical care without the burden of legal requirements that may otherwise complicate their situation.
