What is with Louisiana Democrats supporting total abortion ban? [View All]

I have seen some Democrats in other states....like SD do this as well.

I can not believe this, and I think it is time we make our voices known about these bans coming from Democrats.

I will refer to this Kos post, as it has some good sources:

"A Louisiana Senate committee voted 7-0 to ban all abortions with an exception to save the life of a mother. The bill, which was authored by Democratic Senator Ben Nevers, will go into effect only if the Supreme Court overturns Roe V. Wade. Democratic Senator Diana Bajoie said she wants to make the bill "more pro-life" by not allowing any exceptions:

She did not offer the amendment but served notice she will on the Senate floor, where Nevers is expected to take up the bill next week. "I do have some concerns about this bill," Bajoie said. "It should be all or nothing...Life is life."

Nevers said he will work with Bajoie to "get as much of a pro-life bill as I can."

Nevers says the government should force young girls who are raped by a male relative to have his baby because "that child had nothing to do with that awful crime."

I have gone along with being open-minded on inviting pro-life into the party and being accepting, but this is getting out of hand.
