House Bill No. by Representative Boyd seeks to amend existing abortion laws in Louisiana by providing specific exceptions for cases involving certain sex offenses. 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 resulting from acts classified as rape or other sexual offenses, including first, second, and 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 ensure that individuals who become pregnant as a result of these serious crimes have the option to terminate their pregnancies without the constraints typically associated with abortion laws.
