for those of you that vote "NO" on every amendment...
Posted on 10/19/20 at 9:10 am
Posted on 10/19/20 at 9:10 am
if you believe in the right to life and are against abortion please vote yes on Amendment 1
This short video explains the amendment in layman's terms
Love Life
ARGUMENT FOR
The purpose of this amendment is to place the abortion issue in the hands of the people through
their elected officials and their statewide vote on this amendment, rather than with their state court
judges. Supreme courts in 13 other states have interpreted their constitutions to discover a state right
to abortion and have used that to strike down laws for mandatory ultrasounds, 72-hour waitingperiods and other limitations. This amendment will prevent that from happening in Louisiana.
Judicial consideration of such important issues should be decided on the clear intent of law passed
by the Legislature rather than on legal ambiguities.

if I was in LA, I would be happy to make an exception on this one

I found the below guide detailing the amendments to be very helpful. I found that I will vote yes on a lot more than I thought. This was probably a waste of time because so many will vote "no" without even researching the details.
I am curious to see how amendment #1 turns out because there is so much vocal support. I have seen more amendment #1 vote yes signs than Trump or Biden signs.

I have a family member who calls herself a born again Christian that proudly posted on Facebook that she voted no and urged others to do the same. Her reason was that being pro choice doesn't mean you're pro abortion. It simply means you don't want to tell a woman what she can or can't do with her body. That of course is absurd as she is also part of the silence is violence crowd. She is also a proud Biden voter and BLM supporter. Pretty much liberal across the board. It doesn't make sense to me that someone could be a Christian and in anyway vote to allow the killing of an innocent child.

In the "argument against" section, it states that Louisiana already has a law to ban abortion if Roe v Wade is overturned. Is this true, and if so, how likely is that law to hold up? I'm pro life and against abortion, but if Louisiana already has a valid law that will ban abortion, what's the point of adding a constitutional amendment banning it? Genuinely asking because that's the reason I'd consider voting no.

So if Roe is overturned there would be no federal barriers to a Louisiana abortion ban. However it is possible that the state supreme court could find a right to abortion in "penumbras" of the Louisiana constitution. Probably won't happen but something like 12 other states have found a right to abortion in their STATE constitution.
Hope that helps.

This can't be said enough.
The people in your life that claim this should be challenged to explain themselves because you can't be Christian and be for killing innocent babies.
ETA: Downvotes without explanations are likely baby killing "Christians"

It does no such thing.
The language of the proposed amendment says there would be "no right to abortion"
Does this categorically outlaw abortion? Or does it simply clarify that the State is under no obligation to provide them / pay for them?
EDIT: Nevermind read the guide posted above. That clears it up.

I wish the amendments were worded in a way that common folks would not
be confused by the language
Get the Geux Vote app and familiarize yourself with the amendments beforehand

Me too. This is what they look like to me:
"Do you support (double negative) clause in the legislature that prohibits the enforcement of (double negative) to the degree possible should the need arise in future years henceforth but not as of this moment?"

Many many Christians are pro-choice.
One close friend believes that if for example, a young 14 year old gets raped by a thug, she should have the option of not having her life forever changed or ruined. In that scenario, that is not God’s will for that to happen. That was an evil act. That’s the will of the devil

What a "moving the goalposts" reason to be OK with killing unborn children.
What if it was God's will for that child to be conceived?
If you are for killing babies, for ANY reason, you are not a Christian.

Curious why you are a No on #2. The assessors and oil and gas folks agree this is a better assessment method. I haven't seen a single organization's recommendations that have a No on #2.
Honestly not trying to persuade you, but just trying to understand.
Posted on 10/19/20 at 12:15 pm to BigJim
Because oil and gas production is already taxed and revenue from oil and gas production isn’t a constant source of income, but cyclical and sporadic. Basically, the assessor would continue to value your property as if it’s producing oil when it’s not and continue taxing you for money you’re not earning.
