Louisiana governor to sign 'heartbeat' ban, latest move to curb U.S. abortion rights

Earlier on Wednesday, Missouri's governor renewed his intention to close a Planned Parenthood clinic and become the first state without a medical facility that performs abortions. The Louisiana bill was approved on Wednesday by a 79-23 vote of the Republican-controlled Louisiana House of Representatives and had already passed in the state Senate. Louisiana would join at least four other conservative-leaning states that have passed measures this year to prohibit abortion as early as six weeks.
