Abortion restrictions pass 85-6 out of Louisiana House

The Louisiana House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill 85-6 Monday afternoon that would restrict access to abortion services in the state. The legislation, which generated no discussion or questions on the House floor, now heads to the Louisiana Senate.

Similar laws passed in other states have been used to shut down several abortion providers around the country. Abortion rights advocates have said the proposal, if approved, would immediately close three of Louisiana's five abortion clinics. Only two facilities in the Shreveport area would be able to meet the new requirements laid out in the bill.

Gov. Bobby Jindal, Department of Health and Hospitals Secretary Kathy Kliebert and several anti-abortion advocates have said the proposal is about protecting women's health. But abortion rights advocates said the legislation has little to do with keeping women safe and that it's only purpose is to further restrict access to abortion.

Is this something like texas where they require the murder clinic to be close to a hospital in case its needed.

Good lets work on getting the rest of the baby slaughter houses shut down. Its criminal that the NAZI like final solution to undesirable peoples are allowed to exist. If they really had the courage of their convictions they would use gas chambers instead of “women’s clinics”.

Stop calling these pond-scum, landfill bottom-feeding POSs “abortion rights advocates.” They’re not advocating anything EXCEPT death. I pray for the day that all of these abortion “clinics” get shut down.

Kermit Gosnell agrees.

What Church Pastor has the courage to watch this message ... ?

Are today's Christians able to hear and recieve a challenging and difficult, albeit "true", look at why Jesus Christ commanded "Render Unto Caesar" message ?

One would think that rabidly pro-abortion women would realize that the abortion business’ resistance to complying with the same basic health and safety laws that govern medical clinics is a pretty strong indication that those abortuaries care as little for women’s health as they care for babies. But no, they fall for the lie that imposing health standards on abortuaries is all about “restricting” access to abortion.

Its final hurdle will be to pass the district court covering LA. It only needs to pass that body by one vote, or 1-0. Let’s hope and pray it doesn’t go 0-1!
