Reporters Don Miller, Jeff Levine, Gene Randall, Bob Franken, and Frank Sesno discuss the American political debate ensuing around abortion. Florida Governor Bob Martinez, in excerpts of the Florida Senate hearing, fails in his attempts to pass several anti-abortion proposals. Don Miller reports abortion bills are pending in the Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Oregon, Nevada, and Massachusetts legislatures. Jeff Levine comments that pro-life vs. pro-choice has become a prominent debate topic in elections throughout New York, Virginia, California, and South Carolina. As Congress maintains their stance as pro-choice, U.S. President George H.W. Bush threatens to veto any abortion rights attached to the Rape and Incest Victim's Choice bill and other related bills. Bush states he refuses to allow Washington, D.C., to use welfare funds to pay for abortions for poor women. Unidentified protesters promote their side of the abortion issue. On "Big story." |
