abortion

The court did little more than defer its first action on an abortion-related issue since the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last month.

Last year, Joe Biden, the Democrat’s presumptive presidential nominee, shifted his position to back an end to restrictions on government funding for abortion.

It was viewed as a key test of the court’s stance.

She argued the law violated her religious freedom as a Satanic Temple member.

The measure passed the House on a 44-16 vote Wednesday.

The bill was amended so that doctors who violate the provision would only be guilty of a misdemeanor, as opposed to a felony.

Sen. Fred Baldwin voted against the bill, commenting before voting that he feels the issues the bill tries to address are covered under current Wyoming law.

The committee will hear more testimony on Friday, and will probably vote on the bill then, according to Sen. Charles Scott.

But even after the committee vote, opponents vowed to continue the fight against the measure.

The bill, which is sponsored by Sen. Bo Biteman (R-Sheridan County), was assigned to the Senate Labor Committee.
