Moscow senator to push abortion bill
When Moscow Sen. Dan Foreman ran for office last year, he insisted he wouldn’t play it safe in Boise, become best buddies with the lobbyists or turn into a full-time politician.
The 63-year-old retired Air Force officer and retired Moscow police officer said his only concern would be “doing the right thing.”
“I don’t care what people think of me,” he said Tuesday. “I’m here (in the Legislature) to do what I think is best for the people.”
Foreman’s views about what’s best will be on full display when he begins introducing legislation in the coming weeks. The freshman Republican, who defeated three-term Sen. Dan Schmidt in November, said he’ll carry four bills this session.
The “most controversial” measure, he said, would classify abortion as first-degree murder - for the mother, as well as the doctor who performs the operation - except in cases where the mother’s life is endangered/ William L. Spence , Lewiston Tribune. More here.
