Louisiana Governor Signs Bill to Ban Dismemberment Abortions

Gov. John Bel Edwards has signed into law to ban dismemberment abortions.

The state House planned to vote on the bill on Monday, but the vote was postponed to an unknown time, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. House Republican spokesman Steve Miskin told the newspaper that leaders decided to delay the vote because they are working through issues with the bill.

Despite the unexpected delay, pro-life advocates believe there is hope for the protective measure… For remainder of article, visit link below.
