Brian Hughes, Republican Louisiana Bill Cassidy [] State of Louisiana 5 interesting facts about Louisiana: 1. Louisiana’s state quarter displays the image of Louisiana state bird. 2. Louisiana’s state bird is the pelican. 3. Louisiana was the 18th state. 4.  Louisiana has the longest coastline (15,000 miles) of any state and 41 percent of the nation's wetlands. 5.  More than one-half of the species of birds in North America are resident in Louisiana or spend a portion of their migration there. 5 facts about your state that relate to the issue:  1. In 2003, Louisiana was in 6th place nationally for AIDS.  2. In March 2004, 24,222 HIV/AIDS cases had been detected.  3. As of December 31, 2010 a total of 30,876 HIV/AIDS cases had been detected. Out of those, 12,858 caused deaths.  4. 33% of HIV/AIDS cases of HIV/AIDS in Louisiana are among Women.  5. 71% of HIV/AIDS cases are among African Americans.  1. HIV/AIDS- HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS has killed many people but they have drugs that can make AIDS manageable. The only problem with this is that most people cannot afford the drug. I think what should happen is they could make the drug more affordable. Doing this would save many lives and I think that should be more important than the money they make by selling the drug.  2. Abortion- 20 to 25 percent of all pregnancies lead to an abortion in the 19th century. I think this is really bad because it is the exact same thing as killing a baby. I think if you risk getting pregnant you should have to pay the price of getting pregnant if you do. I think all abortions in the country should b illegal and not approved by any doctors.  3. Gun Control- The United States has over 200 million guns owned by people. I think this should not be allowed even if the people can only have hand guns with a license. I think hand guns are still too dangerous and have caused too many deaths. I think for hunters, people should make the guns too weak to kill a person but strong enough to hunt.  1. []  2. []  3.
