Abortion ban veto upheld in Congress
The Senate fell three votes short of overriding President Clinton's veto on a late term abortion ban. The 64-36 result leaves the veto in place until a new Congress convenes in January. House had previously voted 296-132 to overturn the veto. National Right to Life praised the vote while Planned Parenthood criticized it as election-year politics.
