Legislature approves constitutional amendment proposals on abortion, voter ID

Jul. 9—HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Senate and House voted Friday to adopt a package of proposed constitutional amendments including one that if ultimately approved by voters, would install in the state constitution that there is no right to abortion and no right to government funding for elective abortions.

The measure, Senate Bill 106, passed by a margin of 28-22 with one Democrat in favor and two Republicans opposed.

The proposal moved to the state House for concurrence. Late Friday, after sometimes heated debate, the House voted 107-92 to approve the proposal.

Also included in the package is a separate amendment proposal stating that government-issued identification is required to cast a vote, and provides options to acquire a free ID.
