LifeNews: Louisiana voters are some of the few to have an opportunity to vote in off-year elections and they selected pro-life Republican Rep. Bobby Jindal on Saturday to be their new governor. Jindal took 53% of the vote against 11 opponents, eliminating the need for a runoff. His nearest competitor, Democrat Walter Boasso had 18%. In Congress, Jindal has compiled a solid pro-life voting record. According to the National Right to Life Committee, Jindal has a 100% pro-life voting record, having voted not only against abortion and abortion funding but against embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia and human cloning as well. At 36, Jindal will also be the youngest governor in the country and the first governor of Indian-American decent. See also:John Fund: Louisiana elects a reform governor. What's next?
