The DFL-controlled Minnesota Senate has side-stepped a showdown on abortion by stripping several measures out of its budget bill. Lawmakers passed a $127 million supplemental spending measure last night on a vote of 64 to 3. The original bill involved much more state spending. But with several abortion-related amendments looming, DFL leaders pulled out nearly $80 million dollars worth of health and human services provisions. Minnesota Public Radio's Tim Pugmire reports.
