Senate Denies Abortion Coverage for Federal Workers
The Senate voted 50 to 44 to bar taxpayer funding for abortions by federal employees, with exceptions for rape or incest and when the mother's life is at risk. An earlier 52 to 41 vote would have banned all abortions unless the mother’s life was endangered. Senator Kent Conrad cited personal experience in urging rape and incest exceptions.
