Counting to 85

The Abortion Care Access Act was debated on the House floor today.

Ten amendments were offered by pro-life members.  All failed.

What’s newsworthy is that the votes in opposition ranged from 83 to 88.

Fifteen delegates were absent or did not vote.

That means it’s very likely that there will be at least 85 votes for the bill when the final House vote is taken on Friday.

If Governor Hogan vetoes the bill, that would be enough votes in the House to override.
