As reported previously (see below), on April 17, the SC Senate tabled Senator Cash’s Amdt to budget (No. 22) to stop funding certain “abortions” in State Health Insurance Plan, by vote of 24 Ayes – 21 Nays (with Gregory, Leatherman, Massey,  Rankin, and Senn joining all 19 Dem’s to table), and so the funding for these certain “abortions” REMAINED IN THE BUDGET (within Section 108).
