coach washington was a key figure in integrating the louisiana high school athletic association. while coach washington was often quick to downplay his role in integrating the league, he did so as a humble man who knew his place but more importantly knew that his place was rising above the stars and making sure that his players knew that they were just as good, if not better, than any other player on the field. . coach washington was a devout catholic and devote member of the church in baton rouge, louisiana. his devotion to his faith began as a young boy in selma, alabama, where he was a member of the boys club founded by father nelson in 1947. he was also a devout husband to his wife of 52 years, linda patterson washington of baton ruining, larks, whom he met while coaching the at st. augustine. his siblings, carol, olivia, charlene, sharon, irma ruth, and many god children, special god children, as well as nieces and nephews and relatives will miss him dearly. on a personal note i knew this amazing man as my uncle otis. he was one of my father's childhood best friends fwroge u

that is the human impact of this bill that was passed and signed into law in louisiana. by the way, louisiana, just like many states that have signed these extreme hands on abortion care, they are the same states that already faces some of the greatest health care challenges, with very high infant mortality, high maternal mortality, great disparity between black-and-white infant and maternal mortality, and this is not what politicians should be doing. instead of taking away access to care, they should be looking to expand it in every way. we in the planned parenthood action fund and our 13 million supporters leading up to 2020 and beyond will be mobilizing, educating, organizing, and we will make it clear to the american people about who is there to protect us and our care, and who is there to take it away, who is there to ensure our children grow up in a world where they have more rights than we do, not fewer. and we know the american people are paying attention, that people are outraged. this is not a partisan issue. this is not a political issue. this is about our liv

karl, she feels very safe in her district in louisiana.e are people who feel the way she does but that is not what we are hearing nationally from candidates on the national stage. >> not at all. democratic presidential candidates are trying to out-abortion each other. i thought it was interesting that naft gillibrand went after chris wallace -- senator gillibrand went after chris wallace berating fox for having people on who called the comments of governor northam infanticide. that is what it was. he said he was asked what would happen in the process of an abortion they failed to kill the infant before they were fully born. he said well, we will make the infant comfortable. then the doctor and the mother will make a decision. that sounds like infanticide to ordinary americans. so it is amazing that the democrats made this such a requirement. there are last year, democrats for life endorsed two members of the senate. joe donnelly of indiana and manchin of west virginia. four in the house. two incumbents. minnesota and illinois. two challeng

this had a really big impact in texas but louisiana is a little different. there's one or two clinics that may survive. and i don't know how -- it will be interesting to see whether john roberts and four other conservatives are willing to approve that louisiana law and then if they do, watch what they say, because you could decide these cases narrowly on sort of factual questions about how much regulation of abortion clinics can states do. it doesn't go quite to the question of is there a right to an abortion. i'll be interested to see what they say if they were to uphold that louisiana law, because that will then set the next stage for the debate. >> it's two interesting aspects. one was the stay application where they had validated -- the district upheld it, and roberts joins with the liberals in an interesting move there. >> put it off. right? >> right. >> put off a decision. >> you can imagine there might be a fracturing of the right wing of the court where some of them are writing roe v. wade opinions and some are writing about bidding privileges. it wi
