TRENTON, NJ, Dec 16 (LSN) – New Jersey has become the 18th state to outlaw partial-birth abortion. The state Senate overrode “moderate” Republican Governor Christie Whitman’s veto Monday and banned partial-birth abortions, except when the life of the mother is in danger. The 27-13 vote, the minimum needed for an override, gave final approval to the ban on partial-birth abortions, thwarting Whitman’s attempt to broaden the exception to include virtually any partial-birth abortion.
