Blanco Reaffirms Louisiana Commitment to Sanctity of Sperm

Governor Kathleen Blanco signed yet another act of the Louisiana Legislature that reaffirms the second class status of women under Louisiana law.

You can read about the current law here.

As you may recall, last year the Legislature passed and Blanco signed a law that apes a South Dakota law that bans abortions — even when the life of the mother is at stake — without exceptions for rape and incest victims.

Let's see. Among the worst states in quality of education. Among the highest states with the percentage of people not covered by health insurance. The state with the highest rate of incarceration. Among the highest rates of poverty. And the toughest abortion laws in the country.

Looks like that last one is a good fit with the rest of that list.
