Bacala voted for and supports a draft Louisiana state bill that would make in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments and some forms of birth control a crime, and prosecute women who get abortions for "murder."[4][5] The draft bill intentionally has no exceptions for rape, incest, or the protection of the life of the mother,[6] and would likely also criminalize miscarriages.[7][8][9][10]
In 2024, Bacala voted in favor of advancing House Bill 545 from the Administration of Criminal Justice committee.[11] The bill, filed by Republican Beryl Amedee, would remove legal protections for obscenity from teachers and librarians in all Louisiana public schools..[12]
