Ray and other pro-life lawmakers contacted for a response to the poll said its results, while positive to the ongoing effort to make most abortions illegal again, it doesn't motivate them to draft new legislation to that end."At this point we've done about all we can do, short of a Supreme Court decision or states getting authority to decide the issue at that level -- where the decision ought to be," Ray said.Along with Ray's bill (HB90) making post-20 week abortions a second-degree felony homicide this past session, lawmakers also approved a bill (HB222) that requires physicians to advise a mother that an abortion causes fetal pain and anesthesia is available They also approved HB114, the establishment of a public fund for private donors to help pay for legal costs when the issue ends up in court again.
