U.S. SUPREME COURT - Louisiana Abortion Law Case

"What’s at stake in Supreme Court’s Louisiana abortion law case" PBS NewsHour 3/4/2020

Another attempt of imposing a religious belief on others by using statuary law which IS NOT freedom of religion.

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  The Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in a case about access to abortion doctors in Louisiana.  The law in question is similar to a Texas one struck down by the Court in 2016 -- but decided by a different group of justices.  Lisa Desjardins talks to the National Law Journal’s Marcia Coyle and Mary Ziegler, professor and author of “Abortion and the Law in America: Roe v. Wade to the Present.”

LOUISIANA - The New 'Green Army'

"This La. battle is between big industry and a Green Army" PBS NewsHour 5/30/2019

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  General Russel Honore commanded an infantry division in Korea and saw action in Operation Desert Storm, but it was his service as Commander of the Joint Task Force Katrina in 2005 that won him national acclaim.  The experience of viewing Louisiana’s industrial pollution up close, he says, also radicalized him.  Now an environmental activist, the general is taking on big oil.  Paul Solman reports.
