Jeff Landry’s administration has failed to regulate or provide oversight of public money given to anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers over the past year, as required by state law.
For years, Louisiana has financially supported the controversial crisis pregnancy centers that were originally designed as competitors to abortion clinics.
For example, five of the pregnancy centers receiving state funding in the last year offer “abortion pill reversal” services, according to the auditor’s report.
In Oklahoma, an auditor also found only $106,000 of $392,000 spent with its umbrella nonprofit went to pregnancy centers.
In 2024, McNamara testified before a Louisiana Senate committee in favor of the law that established the new structure for funding pregnancy centers.
