House Kills Abortion Law With Enacting Clause Amended
Illinois House kills a liberalizing abortion bill by adopting a voice vote amendment that strikes its enacting clause rendering the measure powerless. Rep. John W. Lewis proposed the move to save time amid legislative workload and controversy. Rep. Leland Rayson failed to salvage the bill which would have allowed abortion in cases of forcible rape or incest or to save the mother's life health or the fetus’s serious defects. Also included: obituary for Alice A. Edwards of Carterville and local fines for Rockwood and Marion residents.
