Louisiana lawmakers scuttle most 'pro-family' tax credits proposed in wake of abortion ban
Louisiana lawmakers have quietly scuttled three of the four tax credits proposed to help pregnant people and adoptive parents in wake of the state’s strict abortion ban.
A bill creating a tax deduction for parents who have miscarriages or are expected to give birth to a baby – referred to as the “unborn” child tax credit – was held up Monday in a Senate committee that oversees state tax policy.
Legislation that would have provided tax breaks to families who adopt children and those who donate money to organizations that assist parents stalled in a similar Louisiana House committee last month.
That leaves just one tax bill in play aimed at supporting struggling pregnant people and young parents in the aftermath of most abortions becoming illegal in the state.
