Jindal: 'Shame' House Put Aside 20-Week Abortion Ban

Louisiana governor and potential presidential candidate Bobby Jindal said it was a “shame” that House Republican leaders had to put aside a bill banning abortions occuring after the 20th week of pregnancy. Speaking on Fox News Thursday night, the Republican said, “it shouldn’t take a lot of political courage to stand up and say we are going to end late-term abortions in America.”

Jindal was responding to the decision by the Republican House to table a bill after some members of the GOP conference raised concerns about some of the language regarding rape exceptions. This, despite the fact that these members had voted for a bill with the exact same language in 2013.
