The Vermont Senate Health and Welfare Committee resumed hearings on two abortion reform bills. A Burlington priest warned a liberalized law would be a vicious step back, saying life begins at conception and ends only if the mother is threatened. Senator Stovan Christowe said a vote on one bill may come this week after more witnesses. One bill would allow therapeutic abortion with a doctor panel certification, the other would replace the medical panel with a probate court.
