Scholler: Abortion bill is dead

With only a few hours left before the 2009 legislative session comes to a close, Rep. Shane Scholler, R-Willard, tells KYTV a bill which would expand Missouri's abortion laws is dead:

Willard Rep. Shane Schoeller told KY3 News that legislation to expand Missouri's 24-hour informed consent law for abortions is likely dead this session. Schoeller said negotiations broke down over a Senate provision that would give an exemption to an abortion clinic in Columbia. Anti-abortion lobbyists complained the bill had been watered down.
