Not far enough....that stupid “for the mother’s health” will totally allow for more abortions. They will say, “she has a cold, better get rid of the baby.” Plus 20 weeks the baby is fully formed....how about no abortion one day ban? Jindal better do better than this. No cheerleading for this. Or how about banning it completely in Louisiana?
Pro(had)-aborts cannot allow there to be ANY restrictions on abortion,
because that opens up the whole issue they’re trying to avoid - that there is something morally wrong about abortion.
Once they allow one foot to step on that path, it invariably leads to “I murdered my child”, and their psyche won’t be able to stand that.
I really think the all-or-nothing approach will be less successful over the long run than an incremental approach.
This new law is an improvement over the previous law. That is good.
We need to get a different set of Supreme Court Justices and then overturn Roe v. Wade in order for a single state to successfully ban abortion.
If Obama gets re-elected then that new, more originalist court will be put off even further. If we get Romney in there, and a GOP Senate majority, then perhaps we will get a chance to make some progress.
All-or-nothing thinking stands in the way of that, though.
