WWLTV.com | News for New Orleans, Louisiana | Local News: "Gov. Kathleen Blanco was expected to sign a strict abortion ban into law after the Senate on Monday gave the measure final legislative approval.
Blanco has said she planned to sign the bill that would ban nearly all abortions in Louisiana, though only if the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion rights ruling is overturned. The bill by Sen. Ben Nevers, D-Bogalusa, could only take effect under two circumstances: the U.S. Constitution is amended to allow states to ban abortion; or the Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade.
Under the measure, doctors found guilty of performing abortions would face up to 10 years in prison and fines of $100,000."
Awsome. Only problem is the dependancy on the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and that may take a few more years.
