(CNN) Republican Vermont Gov. Phil Scott intends to allow a comprehensive abortion rights bill to become law, as other states led by Republican governors across the nation work to restrict the procedure. Vermont -- where both state house chambers are controlled by Democrats -- currently does not restrict abortion. "The Governor is and has been pro-choice and believes in a woman's right to choose, so he has ruled out vetoing the bill -- it will become law," she wrote in an email. Scott has not received the bill or any indication from the legislature as to when he would receive it, Kelley added.
