==Is Edwards "pro-life"?==
In the spring of 2020, Edwards gained repeated national television exposure regarding how hard Louisiana has been hit in the [[coronavirus]] pandemic, particularly New Orleans during [[Mardi Gras]]. Edwards issued a "stay-at-home" order, including churches, but he exempted [[abortion]] clinics from the order though he has long-claimed a "pro-life" position. With national aspirations in his future, he would be required to abandon any pretense of being opposed to abortion. Louisiana voters are among the most anti-abortion voters, but 51 percent in 2019 voted for a second term for Edwards. Edwards' comments on how hard Louisiana has been hit led [[Texas]] Republican Governor [[Greg Abbott]] to shut off access, temporarily for Louisiana motorists seeking to enter Texas from the east.<ref>''[[Moon Griffon|The Moon Griffon Show]],'' April 6, 2020.</ref>
