U.S. House to Vote on 20-Week Abortion Ban 
-------------------------------------------


 
House Republicans are expected to bring a bill banning abortion after 20
weeks of pregnancy to the floor today. The measure, backed by Arizona
Rep. Trent Franks, would become the strictest anti-abortion bill in a
decade to see a congressional vote. President Obama has vowed to veto
the ban, calling it an "assault on a woman's right to choose."
