Louisiana Prepares for a Post-Roe America

Should the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade, or, in the less likely event that a Constitutional amendment passes that overturns the court decision--in other words, should the federal government allow the states to make state law on this matter--abortionists will face ten years in prison in Louisiana. The Democrat governor of Louisiana has vowed to sign a bill sponsored by a Democrat state senator banning all abortions, save ones that might save the life of the mother or permanently danger her health. The regional divide on abortion often supersedes the party divide.

"save ones that might save the life of the mother or permanently danger her health"

That is a loophole ten miles wide to allow abortions to be performed.
I once heard a doctor say that if the requirement for being able to perform an abortion were if the mother's life was in danger, then he would deem it a necesary life saving mearsure for every woman who came to him requesting an abortion.
