Dem Louisiana governor prepared to sign fetal 'heartbeat' ban

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) is reportedly prepared to break with the Democratic Party to sign a bill banning abortion after a fetal heartbeat detected if it passes a final vote in the state House, The Associated Press reported.

The proposal awaits a final vote before it heads to Edwards’s desk. The legislation would ban abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which is around the six-week mark, before many women even know they are pregnant.

The procedure would be allowed if the pregnant woman’s health is in “serious risk,” but not for pregnancies caused by rape or incest, AP noted.

The Democrat’s anti-abortion stance stems from his wife’s pregnancy nearly 30 years ago. A doctor discovered their daughter, Samantha, had spina bifida and encouraged an abortion, but the couple refused.

5. Any Democrat who opposes reproductive rights should be booted...

from the Party, especially if they vote for or sign a damn law! I dont know if it's even possible to expel someone.

Clearly, anti-choicers are trying to provoke a lawsuit to get Roe in front of SCOTUS. Just watch, the Louisiana law will end up being the one that gets their first, and we'll have Democrat to thank.

7. I resent politicians who process power

making policy decisions based on their own life experience. Governing isn’t about them. It is about the needs of the public. Fuck this guy. The party should refuse to support him and never give him another dime.
