The Connecticut Senate gave final legislative approval to a bill abortion rights advocates contend is needed to protect in-state medical providers from legal action stemming from out-of-state laws.
FILE - State Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney meets with reporters outside the Senate chamber June 9, 2021, in Hartford, Conn. The Connecticut Senate gave final legislative approval Friday to a bill abortion rights advocates contend is needed to protect in-state medical providers from legal action stemming from out-of-state laws, as well as the patients who travel to Connecticut to terminate a pregnancy and those who help them.
The bill, which already cleared the House of Representatives earlier this month, passed in the Senate on a 25-9 vote. It now moves to Gov. Ned Lamont's desk. The Democrat has said he will sign it. Under the bill, state and local agencies in the state of Connecticut, which codified the Roe v. Wade decision in state law in 1990, would be prevented from cooperating in investigations and prosecutions of abortion providers in the state. The bill also modifies the state’s extradition statutes and prevents an out-of-state patient’s medical records from being disclosed.
