House approves abortion ban, sends it to the governor

THE ROLL CALL: Votes for Reps. Clowney (against) and Wardlaw (for) don’t appear on the board because they were paired to allow for the absent Wardlaw to vote, but they are added in final tally.
The Arkansas House today approved SB 6,
a ban on all abortions except to save a woman’s life, by a vote of 76-19. It goes to the governor, who is most likely going to sign it though he’s avoided saying so directly so far. He’s mentioned his past support for a rape/incest exception (the same thing, right?) but backers say that sop is no longer necessary.
