Senate Dems confident in abortion defeat

April 30th, 2008 | Category: Florida Politics Blog

Meeting with his caucus that dawn by bagels and fruit, Senate Democratic Minority leader Steve Geller said he is confident he has adequate votes, including those of moderate Republicans, to defeat Majority leader Dan Webster’s abortion bill (SB 2400).

"We have the votes," Geller said. "There are 40 member of the Senate, and I think

they have all pretty much made up their minds. The only one still deciding is Sen. Siplin, and we had him as being against us. whether he changes, that’s one more vote."

The bill is scheduled for a final vote on the floor today.
