"Anchor Baby" Jindal Shuting Clinics, Hampering Woman's Choice

Gov. Piyush “Bobby” Jindal (R-LA). Bobby is his “reel” name not his given name

Story from here, but first this background on Jindal, the “Anchor Baby” and yes, he is, and we must honestly ask, “Did Jindal's parents didn't know what the term “anchor baby” meant as they prepared to move to the U.S. for college school at LSU in 1971?”

Jindal was born “Piyush Jindal” on June 10, 1971, after his mother, Raj Jindal, already three months pregnant at the time, moved to Baton Rouge on a scholarship offer to study nuclear physics at Louisiana State University (LSU). His parents entered the U.S. on green cards secured through Bobby's father, Amar Jindal and his participation in a program by the federal government to increase the number of engineers.”

Apparently his mother had a choice about his birth, yet now he, at least according to the story, wants to restrict a woman’s right to choose and have access to her own health care, thus being able to choose for themselves and not have him do it for them.

From the story, in part: Jindal is expected to sign into law a bill that may close at least three out of the state’s five abortion clinics.  The law would require admitting privileges for abortion providers at a hospital within 30 miles, a requirement that doctors elsewhere, many of whom fly in from out of state to provide services, have often been unable to meet. That’s the point. 

Both Louisiana clinics whose doctors have admitting privileges are in Shreveport, which is about a five-hour drive from New Orleans. In several other states, abortion providers have been denied such privileges by hospitals that either oppose abortion or are shying away from controversy – in some cases, the doctors haven’t even been given applications.  Bethany Van Kampen, board member of the New Orleans Abortion Fund, which assists low-income women who cannot afford their procedures, said in a statement that “Louisiana legislators have allowed ideology to trump medicine.”  

And that truly is the point – the only point.
