Rep. Art Washut, R-Casper

CHEYENNE — Rep. Art Washut, R-Casper, was the tie-breaking vote on Wednesday that pushed forward a sweeping abortion bill aimed at nixing rape and incest exemptions currently on the books and bullet-proofing an abortion ban against legal scrutiny.

But just before the roll call, Washut expressed some reservations about his aye vote, given some of the legal risks that passing the bill could possibly result in no abortion ban at all in the end.
