.- The
Louisiana Senate passed a bill Wednesday that would prohibit abortion
except to save the life of the mother. The measure, which passed on a
30-7 vote, is similar to one enacted earlier this year in South Dakota.
The legislation now goes to the Louisiana House of Representatives for
consideration.
Fr. Frank
Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, applauded Louisiana for
taking a positive step toward “rebuilding the culture of life after
decades of Roe v. Wade’s devastation.”
“Everyone’s life
deserves the protection of law,” he added. “I pray that the Louisiana
House will continue the work to protect the most vulnerable in the
Bayou State, the unborn.”
