The U S Senate approved the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act by a 65 to 34 vote on July 25 with Texas senators Cornyn and Hutchison co sponsoring. The measure makes it a federal crime to transport a minor across state lines to obtain an abortion, with penalties including fines and up to one year in jail. The bill aims to close a loophole where minors can seek abortions without parental knowledge, backed by pro life advocates and officials from the USCCB. President Bush’s signature is expected after conference, signaling stronger parental rights nationwide.
