Vermont lawmakers are pushing for a bill that would make abortion a constitutional right in the state, going way beyond the law that New York recently passed. The right to abortion bill, which has 91 co-sponsors, goes beyond the scope of Roe v. Wade, which protects a fetus that can survive outside the mother's womb. "What the bill basically does is codifies those exact same abortion rights that Vermonters have enjoyed for the last 46 years." "A fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus shall not have independent rights under Vermont law." WOMEN'S RIGHTS GROUPS SUPPORT LATE-TERM ABORTION, DESPITE PUBLIC OUTCRYIn light of the New York law passed and celebrated by Gov.
