Idaho Senate Votes To Limit Abortions

The Senate has voted 24-10 in favor of SB 1165, Sen. Chuck Winder's bill to ban all abortions after 20 weeks on grounds of fetal pain, unless it's to save the mother's life or physical health. The measure includes no exception for cases of rape or incest, or for severe fetal anomalies, and passed after an emotional and at times heated debate. The bill now moves to the House/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise.

Question: Do you support/oppose this legislation?
