HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania’s General Assembly approved five proposed constitutional amendments Friday, including one that would declare Pennsylvanians do not have any rights “relating to an abortion,” as well as another to require voters to provide government ID to cast a ballot.
The House approved the measures 107-92, after nearly five hours of debate that went into Friday night. The Senate approved it Friday morning by a vote of 28-22.
This debate began in the Senate late Thursday night, after a state Senate committee advanced these amendments. Senate Democrats expressed their anger late Thursday for the late committee vote, which they said occurred with little notice and after many Pennsylvania residents were asleep.
