This bill has gotten much attention from the pro-life community and has been championed as “the strictest abortion ban in the nation.”

Let’s be honest about this bill and others like it. There is nothing strict about legislating “when” an unborn child can be killed. This bill leaves vulnerable the smallest humans among us: those without a heartbeat. This bill also provides exceptions to allow for the killing of those conceived in horrible circumstances yet who are just as innocent as any baby.

The culture of death will continue to be the greatest sin of America.

This abomination can end immediately if one state would take the lead off the road of perdition and enact The Louisiana Life For All Act/Amendment.

The reality check reminder for America is every state can enact their sovereign duty of interposition and duty to protect and defend all life. 

The Supreme Court is not the supreme law of the land.

So sad to see America so ignorantly complicit in this American holocaust.

The Louisiana Life for All Act/Amendment. Equality; inherent rights.

“All people are equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights; among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; to secure these rights, governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. As applied to the right to life, the terms ‘people’ and ‘person’ shall apply to every human being at any stage of development.”

The time for courage and justice is now.

“Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate.”

Ignore Roe.
