On Tuesday, the Louisiana State Senate voted<\/a> 36-2 to ban dilation & evacuation, or dismemberment, abortions, sending the bill to pro-life Democrat Governor John Bel Edwards for his signature.<\/p>\n

The bill’s author, Republican State Representative Mike Johnson, calls<\/a> dismemberment abortion procedures “barbaric” and notes that even Supreme Court Justices favorably disposed toward legal abortion have expressed ambivalence toward the method, namely Justice Anthony Kennedy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
