The Connecticut House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill on Tuesday that effectively combats some abortion restrictions in other states by allowing persons who face legal liability for violating abortion laws to sue for damages in Connecticut courts. Gov. Ned Lamont, a Democrat, pledged to sign the bill if it passes the Democrat-dominated state Senate.
