Another one bites the dust
Several year's ago, there was a request to boycott South Carolina due to the state flag issue. On a trip from FL to MD, I purposely avoided spending any money (Gas, hotel, food, etc...) in SC. Recent abortion decisions in South Dakota make it prime to skip that as well, but, since I wasn't ever really planning on visiting there anyway, it's not much of a sacrifice to me. However, with this decision by the Governor of Lousiana, I think I'll avoid spending money to help LA rebuild until this law is repealed. I had thought about heading up there next summer, but those plans are now off. Anyone else that supports the state is supporting this as well. I may have to spend money at home if my own state (FL) ever passes such 14th Century trash (if we do, I hope everyone out-of-state would boycott FL as well), but I don't have to spend money in other states that do the same.
Louisiana gov. signs law that would ban abortions
"Louisiana Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco signed into law a ban on most abortions, which would be triggered if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns its 1973 ruling legalizing the procedure. The ban would apply to all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest, except when the mother's life is threatened."
Update:
Louisiana Abortion Ban Moves Closer to Passage
"Sen. Ben Nevers, who sponsored the bill, did not include exceptions for cases of rape or incest. “I am very deeply concerned about women who have been raped, or been involved in incest. And my heart goes out to them,” he said, but said he opposed the exceptions because “abortion is just another crime,” like rape.
Guess he wants to keep his options with his sister open....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
