The latest House version also would give the attorney general new authority to
prosecute violations of state abortion laws without first notifying local
prosecutors, which was required under the Senate version.
Abortion clinics also would lose their licenses for at least a year if they
don’t comply with requirements to submit fetal tissue from abortions to
pathologists for further review, with some exceptions.
Lawmakers are considering changes to abortion laws as part of a special
session called by Republican Governor Eric Greitens. A House vote is expected
Tuesday.
