Birthmark Fundrasier
Please join us for a Krewe du Vieux pre-parade drink at
as we raise funds for our friends at Birthmark !
On October 1, 2024, Louisiana’s Act 246 took effect and added mifepristone and misoprostol to Louisiana’s Controlled Dangerous Substances (“CDS”) schedules, subjecting medical professionals and their patients to a highly regulated legal scheme. The Act is already serving as a model for anti-abortion lawmakers in other states, subjecting those who possess mifepristone and misoprostol but are not pregnant to extreme sentences and reducing access to necessary treatments for a range of conditions, including postpartum hemorrhage and miscarriage management.
But we’re not standing by!
Lift Louisiana has joined the fight with Birthmark Doula Collective v. Louisiana, a lawsuit challenging Act 246.
We’re suing to protect healthcare, patient safety, and the right to reproductive care. And now is your chance to join this fight! More information on the litigation can be found here: Litigation: Challenging Act 246 — Lift Louisiana
We welcome you on Saturday, February 15th, at The Domino bar!
A percentage of all proceeds during our event will be donated to Birthmark and there will be additional opportunities to donate throughout the night!
Come meet members from the Lift and Birthmark teams and hear from abortion providers who are leading the fight in one of the most restrictive countries in the world, El Salvador.
Dr. Guillermo Ortiz, was a lead witness in the case of Beatriz, where the Interamerican Court of Human Rights found that El Salvador’s abortion ban violates human rights.
