House bill 40, which expands abortion coverage to state employees and Medicaid recipients, in all cases, passed the Illinois House of Representatives today 62-55.
All three Southern Illinois Leguslatiors; Dave Severin (R-Benton), Terri Bryant (R-Murphysboro, and Brandon Phelps (D-Norris City), held to their pro-life convictions and voted against the bill.
Governor Bruce Rauner has vowed to veto the bill, which the house does not have the 3/5th majority to override the veto.
