Klobuchar defends Dems' quash of 20-week abortion ban

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., defended Democrats' defeat of a bill that would ban all abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, saying that she stands behind Roe v. Wade as "the law of the land."

The bill was one of two anti-abortion pieces of legislation that were squashed by Senate Democrats in a party-line vote on Tuesday. Klobuchar was not present for the vote but said if she was "I would have voted with the Democrats."
