I'd like to think I'm wrong, but I suspect Edwards is more "pro-Edwards," than he is, "pro-Life." This is a gubernatorial election year in Louisiana and a veto of this bill would have had him bounced out of Baton Rouge on a rail. I hope he signed it for the best of reasons, I'm glad he signed it for any reason, but I suspect that had the voters of Louisiana been more apathetic about the issue, or leaned pro-death, he would have gone with the flow of his party.
