Texas House approves sweeping abortion restrictions
AUSTIN, Texas | Tue Jul 9, 2013 10:01pm EDT
(Reuters) - The Texas House of Representatives approved a bill on Tuesday that would mandate sweeping abortion restrictions, including a ban on most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and tougher standards for abortion clinics.
The vote of 98-49 came after a full day of sometimes passionate debate. Before the measure can head to the state Senate, it needs a final vote from the House, which is expected on Wednesday.
