House panel tightens abortion guidelines
The House Appropriations Committee voted to further restrict Medicaid funded abortions to only cases where the woman's life is threatened. The move narrows the prior rules that allowed abortion payments in cases of danger, rape or incest with physician certification. The vote, tied, precedes a broader House decision amid potential Senate friction. A closed session drew protests from abortion rights groups while Catholic groups and lobbyists attended.
