Medicaid abortion votes follow party lines in Albany
In Albany the state Senate and Assembly largely followed party lines on a proposed amendment to strip 315 million dollars annually for poor women's abortions from the budget. The Assembly rejected the measure 84 to 58, while the Senate vote was 30 to 10 with 25 abstentions, leaving passage short of a 31 vote threshold. Senator James Donovan, a long-time antiabortion figure battling colon cancer, was honored in debate though absent for the vote.
