Legislation that would close abortion clinics in Louisiana if Roe v Wade is overturned and ban the procedure is on its way to the governor’s desk for signature. Governor John Bel Edwards, a pro-life Democrat, is expected to sign the bill but would prefer the legislation had exceptions…:

CUT 03(10)      “…radio program.”

The legislation would result in a 10 year prison sentence for doctors who perform abortions IF abortion becomes illegal in Louisiana.

Both New Orleans and Baton Rouge have been plagued lately with motorheads taking over busy intersections and staging impromptu stunt shows. Burnouts, donuts, drag racing and the like. Social media from the weekend shows another taking placed in the Crescent City, with other motorists angry & frustrated and police seemingly unable to do anything about it. NOPD says this bunch was largely FROM Baton Rouge. They says weapons are often present, and – yes – sometimes people get hurt. They vow to crack down.

 

State Police say a 73-year-old bicyclist from Welsh was killed in a hit and run crash that took place this morning on state Highway 1126 in Jeff Davis Parish near Jennings. Trooper Derek Senegal says witnesses saw a small white SUV hit the victim…:

CUT 12(08)      “…where’s the vehicle at.”

The victim is identified as Jerry Hughes. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

State Police in Troop L say a mid-morning crash today took the life of a toddler, who troopers say was not properly restrained. They say a sedan driven by the child’s mother went off state Highway 440 in Washington Parish and overturned; ejecting one-year-old Caisen Williams, who died at the scene. A blood tox sample was taken from the mother, to determine if she was impaired when she crashed.

State lawmakers are rushing to conclude their business on this, the final day of the Regular Legislative Session. No matter what, matters have to end at 6pm. Sine Dei.
