Been thinking about this issue and a lot of prominent national Dems are basically wanting him out of the party, which will likely hurt with fundraising and having big names campaign for him..... but it could also help him with moderates and some republicans

So do you think it’s a net winner or loser for him?

Safe to say he will not be getting the murder enthusiast vote.

He had to sign the bill to have a shot at continuing to be governor

Maybe it would've hurt him if there was another democrat in the field of challengers. But he's running against 2 republicans. Nobody that supports abortion and is mad at JBE for signing the bill is going to switch to voting R. And it probably helps him keep independent voters and some of the never-Vitter republicans that voted for him in 2015.

A great question.

On net, I think it is a positive. It might demotivate his supporters a little (less like to vote, to donate, to volunteer) but if they vote it will be for him. And now he gets to re-posture himself as a conservative democrat.

Never mind his fiscal record, he's pro-life! Pay no attention to those tax increases behind the curtain!

No. Only a small portion of the population- subhuman savages- truly believe it is acceptable or ok to murder a child simply because you don’t want to take responsibility for your choices and that women.

The rest that claim to hold that position don’t really hold that position, at heart. They adopt it because it’s the doctrine of their tribe or because they erroneously think a majority of other people believe it and they want to fit in and be accepted (and 20-year-old college guys whose balls haven’t dropped, yet, and who white knight hoping to be noticed for their virtue signaling by some random females).

This group is most of JBE’s base.

In reality, civilized, sane, educated, reasonable, and moral people do not believe it is acceptable to murder a child. This is most people in our society.

Subhuman savages are he only demographic that will not vote for JBE over his signing of a law preventing the murder of children in Louisiana. They are a small percentage of the population.

If JBE is so pro-life, why is he taking money from national organizations that love abortion and do everything they can to advance supportive policy and lawsuits, not to mention fundraising with politicians who support infanticide like Ralph Northam?

From a consistency standpoint, he's just being himself. He has been on record as being pro- life for most if not all of his career

JBE is a classic Big Government, Tax and Spending liberal Democrat who pretends to be pro life and honorable. If he had vetoed this bill he would have lost 75-25 against a dog in Louisiana.

This legislation is his Mary Landrieu Tap Dance Bill.
It doesn’t matter, because it will not take effect unless and until Mississippi’s passes SCOTUS. So he gets to pretend to be a conservative like Mary until his vote matters.

Now if he has National aspirations, he will evolve to pro choice in 1.2 milliseconds!

I'm convinced it was purely a political play to get points up ahead of the election. At least he did it though I gotta give him credit.

Two women that I work with, both screaming feminists have both posted on their social media sites that they will “never vote for “JBE again. Gonna be fun to watch them agonize over the compromise they are about to have to make. Encouraged by the poll showing Abraham in dead tie and showing 50% name recognition for the first time. The more the doc gets out there the better his numbers get.

This almost ensures his re-election.
He will still get all the Dems that blindly vote “D” and now will get many GOPers’ votes as well.

Ralph Abraham will hurt him in 2020. He is trying to save face with this, but I will be truly amazed if he gets re-elected

I actually feel like it helps him. I feel like the majority of Louisiana folks are pro life, even the democratic ones. This move for him will win over some conservatives and will likely be the reason he gets re-elected.

He's trying to appeal to the voters in north Louisiana because he sure didnt score any political points with his base making this move. But, the sad reality is that no announced candidate, as of yet, R or D, could beat him. And he is so vulnerable.

So, biggest loser in this move would be Trey Ourso and the other "boys" who love to piss away (while putting large chunks of it in own their pockets) national money from DGA or DNC. Because the Democratic party in Louisiana will never see that funding.
