Summary
"The bill has been signed and I'm not going to get into that further today," the governor told NBC News on Thursday.Across the country, abortion rights are facing their gravest threat in decades from new state laws like Louisana's, forcing Democrats to choose between principals and pragmatism as they try to win back unfavorable political terrain.The party now finds itself in the uncomfortable position of running candidates in two of this year's three gubernatorial races who have played an active role in advancing the bills that swept through Southern statehouses this year to crack down on abortion.Edwards, the only Democratic governor in the Deep South and the only one who opposes abortion rights, is up for reelection this fall. He calls himself "firmly pro-life" and is now vigorously defending his own state's new anti-abortion law in the courts.The number of abortion rights opponents inside the Democratic Party has dwindled in recent years and those who remain say they feel like they're being expelled from a party they support on almost every other issue.But others insist now is no time to compromise, with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., recently saying "we should be 100 percent pro-choice, and it should be non-negotiable."Can everyone coexist?"I don't think we need to drum anybody out of the party," said James Carville, the famed Louisiana Democratic strategist.
