Louisiana’s Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, signed into law Senate Bill 342 on June 21, which bans almost all abortions in the state and creates criminal penalties for abortion providers who flout the law.

“My position on abortion has been unwavering—I am pro-life and have never hidden from that fact,” Edwards wrote in a June 18 letter to Louisiana Senate President Page Cortez.
