HARTFORD, Conn. — With a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling months away, Gov. Ned Lamont pledged Tuesday to sign a key abortion bill that would be the most consequential in Connecticut in the last 32 years.
State Rep. Matthew Blumenthal, the son of the U.S. senator, said the legislature was making the move due to concerns about the upcoming ruling by the Supreme Court and abortion restrictions in other states on an emotional issue that has been upheld nationwide by the courts for decades.
“That right is under threat like never before,’' Blumenthal told his colleagues on the House floor.
