Without much public discussion, the abortion debate has crept into this year's end-of-session legislative drama, a battle that Minnesota lawmakers on both sides of the issue have been preparing for for weeks.
In its budget bill, the House approved two powerful anti-abortion measures. One of them challenges a 1995 Minnesota Supreme Court ruling mandating the state to pay for low-income women's abortions.
The two anti-abortion measures were expected to appear on the Senate floor Monday and again Wednesday, but at the last moment Senate leaders pulled human services legislation from the agendaand avoided the debate. [Snip] St Paul Pioneer Press
