Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards is ready to sign into law a bill that would ban abortions after just weeks of pregnancy, reported AP. The new legislation is dubbed “heartbeat.”
“My position hasn’t changed. In eight years in the Legislature, I was a pro-life legislator,” he said on May 16. During the time that he was running for governor, he has had the same view. “I’m as consistent as I can be on that point.”
