Patricia House votes to repeal abortion gag Rule Soares 31m Days of my. W h map to Nefs me. Wona almanac boo of Wona Ivar in b Sor Boos co p 98i by the new York times Washington the old Battle lines in the abortion debate were renewed thursday As the House approved legislation to repeal the Federal Rule against abortion counselling in federally financed family planning clinics. Abortion rights supporters prevailed in the 268-1s0 vote but they fell Short of the two thirds majority that would be needed to override a promised presidential veto. Last year Congress also passed legislation to overturn the a gag Quot Rule adopted during the Reagan administration. But it was vetoed by president Bush and an attempted override failed by 12 votes. Y the vote on the gag Rule came on an amendment on a measure authorizing $195 million in family planning Money As Well As financing for counselling and training to about 4,000 clinics that serve about 4 million Low income women around the country. The gag Rule which was upheld by a 54 vote of the supreme court in 1991, prohibits the staff of family planning duties from telling clients about the availability of abortion or referring them to doctors hospitals or dinks that provide abortions. The National right to life committee issued a statement immediately after the vote saying that a veto would be sustained.
