Louisiana offers hope for the pro-life movement

Much of tonight’s news will be dedicated to the candidates on the ticket. But for the pro-life movement, Louisiana offers a bit of hope outside of the presidential and congressional elections.

Voters approved a constitutional amendment on Tuesday to prevent Louisiana’s courts from finding a “right to abortion” in the state’s constitution. The amendment, authored by a pro-life Democrat, passed 65% to 35%, according to the Associated Press, and states that “nothing in this constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion or require the funding of abortion.”
