Republican Vermont Gov. Phil Scott intends to allow a comprehensive abortion rights bill to become law, as other states led by Republican governors across the nation work to restrict the procedure
Bill H.57, which passed both thestate House and Senate earlier this year, would"recognize as a fundamental right the freedom of reproductive choice" and"prohibit public entities from interfering with or restricting the right of an individual to terminate the individual's pregnancy." The measure would also protect"rights to choose or refuse contraception or sterilization or to choose to carry a pregnancy to term, to give birth to a child, or to obtain an abortion.
Scott has not received the bill or any indication from the legislature as to when he would receive it, Kelley added.Read MoreVermont is not the only state fighting to fortify abortion rights. The state's safeguards on abortions come following the majority-female Nevada Assembly's passage of a bill on Tuesday that would rewrite legal requirements that doctors tell women about the"emotional implications" of an abortion.
