Signs could be posted in abortion clinics | Shreveporttimes | shreveporttimes.com: Signs advising women of alternatives to abortion and their rights could soon be posted in abortion clinics across the state. They would inform women that they cannot be legally coerced into having an abortion, that the father of their child is legally required to pay for its care, that adoptive parents will pay all medical costs related to the pregnancy and delivery of a child and how they can get services from state agencies to assist in raising the child.
The Louisiana House Health and Welfare Committee on Wednesday approved an alternative version of HB586 by Rep. Frank Hoffmann, R-West Monroe, and sent it to the House floor for debate. The amended version of the legislation primarily requires that signs measuring no smaller than 16 inches by 20 inches be posted in patient admission areas, waiting rooms and patient consultation rooms at the seven facilities in Louisiana where abortions are performed.
