While Jindal's veto can be overridden, the author of the bill admitted that was unlikely to happen.
I guess there will not be much fanfare when HB388 is signed (requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at local hospitals).
That type of legislation has closed abortion clinics in states life Texas and Ohio. It recently passed in Oklahoma, but I am unsure how many abortion clinics it will close.
Governor Jindal is Catholic and apparently listened to the bishops...
This bill would have legalized surrogate motherhood for same sex couples and single people...
Good to see a Catholic politician with a spine these days.
I like Jindal. I don’t know whether he has a future at the national level or not, but it is really nice to be able to point to him and say to my kids “see? There’s one of the small number of basically decent, pro-life, conservative Christian men in politics.” I know he’s not good enough for a lot of Freepers, but he’s so much better than what we have for a governor in our state (CA). Jerry Brown used to be a devout Catholic. He was even a seminarian, I believe. How different California might have been if he stayed that way.
