Woman wants help after receiving $7,203 MLGW bill
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A woman is calling for help after she received an MLGW bill that's worth more than $7,000. Tracy Moore told WREG there has been an issue since she moved into government housing in 2023. Moore said MLGW told her there was a water leak at the residence before she moved in; however, despite the repairs, the bill continues to increase. Memphis OKs 3% raises for city employees in new budget She told WREG that MLGW cut her lights off, due to non-payment; however, she says she will never be able to make enough money to pay it. 'The light company said it wasn't on they side, that it was on the owner. I do not own this home and I shouldn't be responsible for this big, outstanding $7,000 something water bill,' said Moore. Moore said she moved into the Section 8 housing property in 2023, and she's had issues ever since then. She said that her first bill was nearly $1,500, and when she contacted MLGW, they told her that the matter was under investigation.

Fact Check: Clarifying claims Louisiana voted 'to force a 9-year-old girl to deliver her rapist's baby'
Claim: In early June 2025, Louisiana lawmakers voted "to force a 9-year-old girl to deliver her rapist's baby." Rating: What's True: In early June 2025, Louisiana lawmakers rejected a bill that would have added exceptions for rape to the state's abortion ban, specifically allowing young rape victims to terminate their pregnancies. What's False: The proposed bill did not reference or target any specific case of a pregnant 9-year old. What's Undetermined: The claim originated from Louisiana state Rep. Patricia Moore's mention of a pregnant 9-year-old girl in her district. However, she did not provide additional details, and we were unable to independently confirm the existence or circumstances of the case. In early June 2025, a rumor spread that Louisiana lawmakers voted to deny abortion to a 9-year-old rape victim. One X post (archived) on the topic, which as of this writing had over 958,300 views, read, "Louisiana votes to force a 9-year-old girl to deliver her rapist's baby." It also quoted Democratic state Rep. Patricia Moore allegedly saying, "I'm constantly hearing that God would take a bad situation and turn it into good," additionally claiming that Moore spoke out against the bill "even after being made aware of the pregnant 9-year-old girl living in her district." Another Facebook post (archived) making the claim, which amassed over 25,000 reactions, read, "If a 9-year-old walked into an adoption agency with plans to be a mother, they would laugh her out of the room and explain that she's too young to become a mom. But if a 9-year-old is raped, conservatives believe he's the perfect age for motherhood." Similar claims spread on social media platforms including Instagram (archived) and Reddit (archived). In short, the claim was a mixture of true, false and undetermined information. In early June 2025, for the third year in a row, Louisiana lawmakers rejected a bill that would have added exceptions for rape to the state's abortion ban. Namely, the bill would have allowed young rape victims to terminate their pregnancies. However, the proposed legislation did not reference any specific case of a pregnant 9-year-old. The claim stemmed from a statement by Moore, who said she was aware of a 9-year-old girl in her district who had become pregnant. We were unable to independently verify the existence or circumstances of the child mentioned. We reached out to Moore to request more details about the case of the pregnant 9-year-old and will update this story if and when we hear back. Louisiana's abortion ban took effect in 2022 following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. That decision eliminated federal protections for abortion and allowed individual states to set their own laws. Under the state's law, abortion is banned except in limited cases, such as when the pregnant woman's life is at serious risk, the fetus is "medically futile" or in cases of ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. There is currently no exception for rape or incest. The in-question legislation was Democratic state Rep. Delisha Boyd's third attempt to create exceptions to Louisiana's abortion law. The proposed bill aimed to allow abortions for victims under 17 who became pregnant as a result of specific offenses such as rape or sexual battery that, if committed against a minor, would make an abortion legal in those cases. The bill said the victim wouldn't need to provide a police report, forensic evidence or proof that someone was being prosecuted for the crime in order to get the abortion. Legislators discussed the bill during a House Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice hearing on June 3, 2025. As shown in the image below, the bill that "provides for exceptions to the abortion laws of this state relative to rape and certain sex offenses" received three votes in favor ("Yea") and nine votes against ("Nay"). Therefore, the law did not proceed to the House floor for further consideration. (Louisiana House of Representatives) You can access the full text of the in-question bill here. A video circulating alongside the claims on Louisiana "denying abortion to 9-year-old rape victim" originated from an April 11, 2025, KLFY News 10 segment that aired before legislators voted on the bill. Moore made the statement about the pregnant 9-year-old during the hearing at 38:57 of the video recording available via the Louisiana House of Representatives' official website. Moore stated that she was "aware of a nine year old, in [her] area, pregnant" and that she was struggling to reconcile her feelings about the case with her religious beliefs. Moore also added that her mother was raped at the age of 13 and had her at 14. "So I do struggle with it. I know we got to protect our children, but this point right now, I cannot vote yes," she said. Boyd, who authored the bill, also mentioned she was aware of a "Louisiana girl who was raped and gave birth at 13 years old and a 9-year-old girl who became pregnant after being sexually assaulted." All in all, while it's true that Louisiana lawmakers rejected a bill that would have allowed abortion in cases of child rape, there was no confirmed evidence that the decision directly affected a specific 9-year-old. Moore mentioned being aware of such a case during the hearing but provided no details, and we were unable to independently verify the claim.
