Garnering favor for re-election. He isn’t business friendly, nor taxpayer friendly. He knows it will be challenged. JBE is a POS.

It almost seems like this issue is defining the social battle lines between good and evil (of course, the side that approves of murdering infants - both born and unborn, are the evil ones).

The Democratic Governor has signed this bill into law today:

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards signs one of nation's most restrictive abortion bans into law

I don't know if or should the title be changed...

No exemptions for rape and incest...

Well of course. This is a bill about preserving life, not selective baby-killing.
