(Christian Headlines) Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards has signed three pro-life bills into law, further cementing his reputation as the most high-profile pro-life Democratic politician in the United States.
Edwards, currently in his second term, signed a pair of bills into law Friday.
The first one, known as Act 483, requires medical personnel to tell women undergoing a chemical abortion that the procedure may be reversible if she takes only the first pill, mifepristone, and not the second pill, misoprostol.
The second new law, known as Act 482, requires minors seeking a judicial bypass for an abortion to obtain such a bypass in the parish they live – instead of in the parish where the abortion clinic is located (as is currently law). It allows minors to travel to an adjacent parish if their own parish has a population of fewer than 10,000 persons.
