People coercing women to have an abortion would be penalized under a pair of bills the Michigan House has approved.
The House OK'd both bills 65-43 Thursday, the last session before lawmakers leave Lansing for a two-week in-district work period.
The legislation would prohibit threatening, stalking or assaulting a pregnant woman with the intent to force an abortion against her wishes. The bill now heads to the state Senate, which approved similar legislation in in 2012.
