The Senate is shutting down an effort to ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The bill was backed by President Donald Trump and seen as a vote to call out red state Democrats up for re-election in the fall. Trump said he was disappointed the Senate didn't have enough votes to overcome a filibuster. Monday's vote against advancing the measure was 51-46.
The Supreme Court has ruled that states can't restrict abortion until a fetus is viable outside the womb, usually around 23 or 24 weeks.
