Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco Signs State Abortion Ban Into Law

Baton Rouge, LA (LifeNews.com) -- 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.

The measure would also become effective if a federal constitutional amendment is adopted that allows states to ban abortions.

...

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.

I'm not sure if that fine is between $10 and $100000, or between $10000 and $100000.  But it's a good development.

God bless,
Stephen
