- House votes 119-33 to pass abortion law changes
The Democrat-controlled House passed legislation to loosen restrictions on abortions after 24 weeks, replacing four statutory exemptions with deference to doctors' professional judgment. The bill passed 119-33, with all Republicans opposing it and some Democrats also voting against it. Supporters argued the change allows medical professionals to prioritize patient care over legal constraints.
