House Passes Bill to Criminalize Abortion After 20 Weeks
--------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, the House has passed a bill that would make
abortions illegal after 20 weeks, except when the life of the mother is
at risk or the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest. Women's health
advocates say the legislation is unconstitutional. The White House
supports the extreme anti-abortion bill, but it's likely to face
opposition in the Senate.
