HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania state Senate approved five proposed constitutional amendments Friday afternoon, 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 Senate approved the amendment after hours of debate Friday morning by a vote of 28-22.
This debate began 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.
