Edwards would of won whether or not he signed this heartbeat bill. The vast majority of LA voters could care less about his position on anything
Not sure. Even more - absolutely convinced, that it's not so. He would instantly become excellent target for Republicans as "baby killers apprentice" had he not signed. And most people in Louisiana would tend to agree - outside of majority Black areas (and frequently - there, too, except on pure economic issues) state is VERY conservative. That's why i believe Louisiana legislature will see some more Republican gains in this year elections..
Kathleen Blanco signed anti-abortion legislation as governor and still lost to Jindal
