- House eyes passage of bill altering criteria for late-term abortions
House Democrats advanced a bill to remove restrictions on late-term abortions, replacing a four-pronged framework from the 2022 shield law with a provision allowing abortions based on a physician's professional judgment. The bill cleared the House Ways and Means Committee on a 23-6 vote and is set for a full House vote, with Republican representatives opposing its advancement.
