Louisiana has become the first state to ban the gory and medically unnecessary partial-birth abortion procedure. It is encouraging to see a state legislature emboldened after the recent Supreme Court ruling upholding the constitutionality of partial-birth abortion bans. "This places a statute in law that gives Louisiana the right to prosecute and not wait on a federal prosecutor," said the state senator who sponsored the ban. Hopefully more states will follow Louisiana’s example and help cultivate a “culture of life” across the country.
