Sorry for the nitpicking that will follow:
In a C* FCS law the g load command will progessively blend over to a pitch rate demand below a certain speed threshold.
But the result would be as you described (A pure g load law would even try to increase pitch in order to maintain g when aaproaching the stall).
The C* law would (try to) hold attitude (read pitch) constant at the value initially commanded by the PF.
