Gov. Bobby Jindal signed legislation Thursday that is all but guaranteed to close the only abortion clinics in New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

His office issued a release after the bill signing ceremony Thursday (June 12) at the First Baptist Church in West Monroe, where the governor signed two pieces of "pro-life legislation." Sponsors of the bills are from Monroe and West Monroe.

I wish they would have had a good picture of Rep. Katrina Jackson, D-West Monroe. She was the Democrat, African-American who will be instrumental in the closing of these abortion clinics...

The two bills (HB 388, HB 305) passed by such HUGE margins that even if Bobby Jindal vetoed them, the veto would have been EASILY overwritten.

AND Melinda Gates just announced that The Gates Foundation will NO LONGER FUND ABORTION.

She cited personal views and the “conflict it created in the foundation’s fund raising”.

Interesting... Maybe there is a conscious somewhere, or prayers are being answered...

They are applying medical standards to abortion providers just as Texas has done. Kermit Gosnell is deeply saddened.

Thanks!

I also posted on Facebook to Dr. Alveda King that she should thank Katrina Jackson.

Dr. Alveda King still believes in the Democratic party, but is strongly pro-life. She and Katrina have some things in common...

Thank You!

HLI has been my primary charity for years.

I’ll go with Fr. Boquet’s assessment.
