Is Bel Edwards genuine when it comes to the abortion fight or is he pandering?

It's extremely unlikely many Democrats would break ranks over the abortion issue, but it is likely he knows how much this will be a wedge issue for him in an election year.

I think he may be personally against it, but I think he's probably only professionally against it because he's a Democrat in Louisiana rather than a Democrat in a liberal state.

He's garbage. Unless his republican opponent supports 3rd term abortions (he won't), I sure as shite won't vote for JBE. I honestly didn't give a shite/think about abortion until the Dems went batshit about it, and their insanity won't change my opinion of JBE.

I am certainly no supporter of his but I know his family is long time Catholics. I think he is legit on this one.

I saw an opinion article out of the Ouachita Citizen where Trump wants Steve Scalise to run for the governor's seat

He is pandering. If somehow he got a chance at a national stage he'd flip in a heartbeat.

maybe, but it is kind of smart since now his Republican opponents can't go after him over the issue

seems like if he's going to go this far, he might as well switch to being a Republican to improve his chances this year

I hate JBE, but I know he is genuinely against abortion. He isn’t pandering. He’s really, really Catholic.

He’s always been against abortion. It’s one of the issues where he breaks from national democrats.

JBE is such a great man. He will go down as one of Louisiana’s best governors ever once he completes his second term. And yes he’s pro life and I respect his position even though I’m pro choice. Too bad most here can’t get past the (D) next to his name
