Louisiana bans 'partial-birth' abortion
"Louisiana became the first American state Friday to outlaw a controversial abortion procedure that involves partially removing the fetus intact from a woman's uterus, then crushing or cutting its skull to complete the abortion.
The new law allows the procedure in only one situation at any time during pregnancy: when failure to perform it would endanger the mother's life. The procedure would be a crime in all other cases, even if the pregnancy is expected to cause health problems for the mother."
It looks like anti-abortion proponents have learned how to read SCOTUS opinions and are tailoring their laws to conform with new post-Roe precedent.
