Texas House Advances Anti-Abortion Bill 
----------------------------------------


 
The Texas House has given provisional approval to the controversial bill
that would shut down nearly all of the state’s abortion clinics and
ban abortion after 20 weeks post-fertilization. Republicans are seeking
to push the measure through after last month's filibuster by State
Senator Wendy Davis and a crowd of supporters. The Texas House will hold
a final vote today before sending the bill to the Senate.
