A state partial-birth abortion ban, based on two companion pieces of legislation sponsored by two West Michigan state senators, is expected to be put to a vote this week by the state Senate.
State Sens. Goeff Hansen, R-Hart, and Arlan Meekhof, R-West Olive, introduced their bills earlier this year that essentially would outlaw physicians from performing partial-birth abortions in Michigan, except to save the mother's life, and establish sentencing guidelines making it a two-year felony.
