Legislature 2009: Abortion

Amid the backdrop of a Capitol rally that drew several hundred supporters, abortion foes expressed hope Thursday for a measure "that would limit the types of abortion that can be paid for with Medicaid dollars," The Associated Press reports.

West Virginians for Life Executive Director Brian Louk outlined his group's strategy to The Register-Herald of Beckley: the bill, introduced Monday, "focuses entirely on the fiscal issue, meaning it goes to one committee — finance — and its chairman, Delegate Harry Keith White, D-Mingo, is a co-sponsor."

Louk also spoke about the legislation to MetroNews, which offers audio.
