LA house approves bill banning insurance companies from paying for elective abortions

[MountainLaurel]

Jeez, will someone get me out of this fucking hellhole?!

The bill would allow coverage only for abortions necessary to preserve the life of the pregnant woman.

Rep. Juan LaFonta, D-New Orleans, tried to weaken the bill to make it apply to some limited procedures such as allowing a doctor to remove a fetus that could not survive outside the womb.

That attempt failed 19-65. Two subsequent LaFonta amendments also failed, none getting more than 21 votes.

1. The good people of La. keep electing those Pubbies. What did they expect? nt

3. Unfortunately, the idiots outnumber the sane people

By a rather large margin. And it's not just the Repukes: I'd guess that the Dem who is challenging Diaper Dave this fall voted for this steaming pile of horseshit.

4. I completely understand. I live in Ga! I might be an old white lady

and FAR from child bearing age, but I feel like a real minority here too!

2. There's a state that promotes the Free Market. Not!
