(90,773 posts)8. I have a Democratic governor and he signed an updated trigger law to ban abortions
in the event of the SCOTUS overturning Roe V Wade.
John Bel Edwards did this on June 21, 2022.
And now abortion is banned in Louisiana.
And the updated trigger bill he signed into law was crafted by a Democratic state senator, Sen. Katrina Jackson of Monroe, LA.

Eta from wapo:
And while the clinics lawyers plan to challenge that law in court, the most they can do is buy the clinic a little more time: In 30 days, a trigger ban will take effect in Texas, banning abortions across the state.
