GOVERNOR HENRY HAS VETOED SB 1878

From the Tulsa World...
"In announcing the veto, Henry said in a written statement Wednesday that "while I support reasonable restrictions on abortion, this legislation does not provide an essential exemption for victims of rape and incest. By forcing the victims of such horrific acts to undergo and view ultrasounds after they have made such a difficult and heartbreaking decision, the state victimizes the victim for a second time.

'It would be unconscionable to subject victims of rape and incest to such treatment. Because of this critical flaw, I cannot in good conscience sign this legislation.'"

WE MUST STAY VIGILANT! TO SUSTAIN THE VETO, WE NEED 17 VOTES...MORE ACTION TOMORROW!


CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WHO MADE CALLS AND EMAILS! THANK YOU!
