Louisiana, the state of Katrina and the devastated New Orleans, apparently decided they had more important business to do - pass an abortion bill that bans any abortion except in situations where the mother's life is in danger. So if raped or molested, so sad but the baby is yours!
Oddly, the law is really what is called a trigger law. If the Supreme Court ever overturns Roe vs Wade, this law would more or less go immediately in effect. So if the "trigger" is never pulled, this law never goes into effect. Even stranger, this bill already existed on the books. Its just took longer to go into effect.
The end result is this law is clearly designed to do one thing: pander to the base. As always, the base loves to be pandered to even if a waste of time and effort to duplicate a law that may never be activated. Personally, I would insulted to the manipulations, but the base doesn't worry about such things apparently.
