Which, unless I'm reading it wrong, says that he only voted against it because the measure was worded in such a way that defined all fetuses as children, which would threaten the right to abortion.

The article is unclear, so I may be wrong, but from my understanding that seems to be the case.

Regardless of his motivations, it will be quite easy for Republicans to have a field day with his decision on this.
