<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>Baton Rouge, LA (LifeNews.com) --
</STRONG>Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco, a Democrat, signed into law on
Saturday a new statewide ban on abortions. The law prohibits all abortions
except those necessary to save the mother's life and would not take effect until
the Supreme Court overturns its decision in Roe v. Wade allowing virtually all
abortions.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>The measure would also become
effective if a federal constitutional amendment is adopted that allows states to
ban abortions.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Under the measure, an abortion practitioner who
does an abortion would be fined from $10-100,000 and receive anywhere from one
to 10 years in prison.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure if that fine is between $10 and
$100000, or between $10000 and $100000. But it's a good
development.</FONT></DIV>
