Time ran short Tuesday, delaying a vote in a Senate health-care panel on a controversial bill that would require minors to get parental consent before having abortions.

The Senate Health Policy Committee met for 90 minutes to discuss the bill (SB 404), but Democrats on the panel proposed 15 amendments. While the amendments were shot down in party-line votes, the panel took time to consider all of them, which led to the time crunch.

Sen. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, was critical of Democrats for filing the large number of amendments.
