Legislation that will make it illegal to perform an abortion in Louisiana after a human heartbeat can be detected passed the House by a vote of 79-23. The governor has said she would sign it, adding the Pelican State to the growing list of those stepping up to protect human life.
The measure is Senate Bill 184 by Sen. John Milkovich, D-Shreveport, and Louisiana’s proposed bill is modeled after a similar Mississippi law that is being debated in a federal appeals court. It would only go into effect if the Mississippi bill is upheld.
“States across the nation are saying, ‘We are no longer going to devalue life,” Milkovich said. “We are going to acknowledge the sanctity of human life.’”
Life News notes that Ohio, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and Missouri already have heartbeat laws in place. That’s a good start. We need to see this trend advance because those lives have rights, and 99.9 percent of abortion has nothing to do with women’ health care.
One more point because your left “friends” may bring it up.
Planned Parenthood’s El Presidente’ Dr. Leana Wen, is peddling a lie that without Roe v. Wade thousands of women died annually from illegal abortions. This heartbeat bill business is cutting in on her territory and she figures she needs to give the kill-preborn-baby Leftist stormtroopers a soundbite.
WashPo gave the claim four Pinocchios. Wen’s data comes from some shoddy math in a book written in 1936 using information collected from 15 states in the 1920s. Before penicillin (or any antibiotics). When thousands more people died annually from everything.
Want a more realistic number pre-Roe v. Wade?
In 1972, the number of deaths in the United States from legal abortions was 24 and from illegal abortions 39, according to the CDC.
Thousands?
Is that what happens ‘Wen’ you drink too much of your own Kool Aid®?
Before Roe v. Wade, thousands of women died every year — and because of extreme attacks on safe, legal abortion care, this could happen again right here in America. #WeWontGoBack https://t.co/9orqLaif0J
