In Washington, the Republican-led Congress has passed more legislation Wednesday that attempts to limit the ability for women to have abortions. By a 270 to 157 vote, the House made it a federal crime for adults to help women under the age of 18 to cross state lines in order to have an abortion without the consent of the woman’s parents. Violators could face a $100,000 fine and a year in jail. 54 Democrats joined with Republicans in supporting the measure. The Senate is expected to take up the bill this spring or early this summer. According to NARAL, 33 states have some form of parental notification law that restricts access to abortion.
