New York Assembly Repeals Most Abortion Restrictions
After four hours of debate the New York Assembly narrowly passed a bill repealing most abortion limits by a 76 to 73 vote. The pivotal moment came when George Michaels switched to support, enabling Speaker Duryea to cast the deciding vote. The measure allows abortions up to 23 weeks with maternal consent and permits later procedures only to save the mother's life. Opponents warned of deaths from abortion, while supporters said the reform helps women seek care.
