So the federal bill is a fail, but a similar one for the state of Texas was just signed into law by Governor Rick Perry.
House Bill 2 prohibits the abortion of babies at 20 weeks gestation. The legislation also gives abortion providers one year, until Sept. 1, 2014, to update their abortion facilities in order to meet the same minimum safety standards as ambulatory surgical centers.
It also requires abortionists to have admitting privileges at a local hospital located within 30 miles of the abortion clinic, and that only physicians administer RU-486 in person, and adhere to FDA guidelines for the drug.

Perry said today that everyone should consider the human impact of abortion, and noted that "new research and advanced technology give prematurely-born children a renewed chance at life, which should give us all pause as we argue the definition of viability."
