Abortion bill clears Senate governor balks
The Illinois Senate approved a measure halting state paid insurance coverage for abortions for state employees, sending it to Gov. James Thompson who signaled uncertainty about any veto or signature. The bill would exclude abortions from group coverage for 115,000 state workers starting July 1, 1980, except to save the mother's life. The governor’s spokesman quoted Thompson as saying he will decide once the bill is on his desk.
