May 6, 2022 Dear Friends, Yesterday was National Day of Prayer…and it could not have arrived at a more perfect time! Throughout America, we are witnessing outrage erupt following the leaked draft opinion from SCOTUS that indicates Roe v. Wade’s days are numbered. Not surprisingly, a radical leftist group published the home addresses of Justices A.C. Barrett, J. Roberts, S. Alito, B. Kavanaugh, C. Thomas and N. Gorsuch, encouraging protesters to storm the homes and intimidate justices in protest. Law-enforcement officials are anticipating the left to stir up trouble. Chief Justice Roberts needs to finalize and certify the opinion NOW for the personal safety of his justices and the integrity of this court! This week at the Louisiana Capitol: Many long hours at the Capitol this week for legislators and Team LFF! With only 4 weeks left in the session, the press is on legislators to get their bills entirely through the committee hearings and floor votes. LFF was busy in committee assisting authors and testifying on various bills. Intense focus is now being placed on Louisiana's pro-life legislation with the shocking news from the U.S. Supreme Court. All of us are looking forward to the final decision from the court and a Post-Roe Louisiana!  HB 35 by Rep. Farnum – Clean-ups voter registration rolls to identify outdated addresses.
