Anthony Joseph Bacala, Jr., known as Tony Bacala (born July 1957),[1] is a law enforcement officer and a Republican member of the Louisiana House of Representatives.

Background

Bacala is married to the former Lisa Faucheux (born July 1962), a Republican[2] who is employed by the Ascension Parish School Board.[3]

House tenure

Bacala voted for and supports an extreme 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]
