In the US state of Louisiana, a pro-life amendment has passed by a margin of 2 to 1.

It says that state courts cannot interpret any part of Louisiana’s constitution to declare a right to abortion, or mandate public funding for the procedure.

This means that the legislature alone will decide the legality of abortion.

Louisiana already has a “trigger law” that would ban almost all abortions in the state, if the US Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

Meanwhile, Pro-life leaders in the US have welcomed the results of the elections to the US Senate.

While the Presidential race is likely won by the Democratic candidate Joe Biden, the Republicans look likely to hold a majority of the Senate.

This means Democratic plans to codify the Roe v Wade abortion regime in statute law would be vetoed.

Likewise, proposals to create extra seats on the Supreme Court to install a majority of pro-abortion judges would also fail.
