California’s Senate gave final approval to a bill allowing nurse-midwives and others perform some types of abortions now done only by doctors.
The measure by Assembly Majority Leader Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat, passed the Senate 25-11 yesterday. The bill goes back to the Assembly, which passed it in May, to ratify amendments before it’s sent to Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat.
