Illinois House abortion bill dies in Senate committee
A tough abortion control measure failed in the Senate Judiciary Committee by a 6-9 vote. Sponsored by Rep. Joseph Gibbs the bill would have allowed late term abortions only to save the mother's life and required fetal viability certification. The Senate already advanced a more moderate bill permitting first trimester abortions by licensed physicians in hospitals.
