Democrats block GOP abortion bill effort (NM Senate)

SANTA FE – The Democratic-controlled Senate on Tuesday rejected a move by Republicans to keep two abortion bills out of a committee they say will bury the legislation.

The bills – which have passed the House – would require parents to be notified when their minor daughters seek abortions, and would ban late-term abortions.

Senate Republicans hoped they could pick up enough Democratic votes to pass the bills if the full Senate were voting.

But Republicans said the parental notification bill would “never see the light of day” if it went first to the Public Affairs Committee, which historically has opposed anti-abortion legislation.

It's dead just like the babies killed by pro-abortion liberals.
