Senate sets up vote for 20-week abortion ban
by Robert King | Jan 24, 2018, 8:13 PM
The Senate will likely vote next week on a bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, an effort that could be stalled due to a filibuster by Democrats.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell moved on Wednesday to start debate on a Senate bill to pass the Pain-Capable Childhood Protection Act, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks. The House passed its own version last year.
After debate on the bill is completed, the Senate will take a vote, likely some time next week. However, it will require 60 votes to stop a Democratic filibuster.
