Vermont Senate Holds Abortion Bill Amid House Vote
In Montpelier the abortion reform bill moved toward the state Senate after a narrow House victory. The measure would loosen Vermont’s 1846 abortion law, allowing abortions for health risks or fetal deformity with three physician certificates, plus rape or incest, with a 26 week limit and residency rule. The Senate blocked a $1.8 million supplemental education aid plan. Senator Mallary warned against the Miller formula while preparing a Tuesday vote on his amendment.
