Anti-abortion lawmakers failed Thursday to override Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' veto of a bill imposing additional regulations on clinics that perform abortions.
The state House vote was 82-42 - two votes short of the minimum needed to send the bill to the Senate, where some supporters felt they had the votes to put the legislation into law.
The bill would have required clinics to obtain an annual license from the Department of Health and Environment, hire surgeons as their medical directors and report patient deaths to the state within the day. It also would have required state standards for equipment, medical screenings, ventilation and lighting. |
Basically, the bill was yet another attempt to limit a fundamental right and to make access to reproductive health care that more difficult. Still, look how close the legislature came to overriding the veto...

Thanks for keeping us informed
We have less than 4 yrs to get a democrat president, more democrat legislators & protect the fillibuster before our courts are harmed beyond measure.
