House of Representatives Introduces Key Abortion Bills.

Today the Missouri House of Representatives held their first meeting of the special session aimed at adressing several key abortion issues.

Tim Walker has more from Jefferson City.

"All in favor say "I"...Opposed say "No"...The "I's" have it. The house will stand adjourned until 10 am, Wednesday September 7th, 2005."

The first meeting of the House of Representatives for the special session called by Governor Matt Blunt ended today after only 5 minutes.

House Speaker Rod Jetton presided over a gathering of less than 30 representatives that began with a moment of silence for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The two abortion bills that will be discussed during the special session were introduced today and debate is planned for Wednesday when the House is scheduled to meet again at 10am.
