Democrats Thwart Senate Republicans on 2 Abortion-Related Bills

Associated Press

   Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked a pair of Republican bills that
   would ban most late-term abortions and threaten prison for doctors who
   don't try saving the life of infants born alive during abortions.

   The measures have been defeated multiple times in recent years, but
   Senate Republicans pushed for renewed votes to allow GOP lawmakers to
   make an election-year appeal to conservative voters.
