Kansas’ new governor vetoes abortion ‘reversal’ rule, setting up showdown with GOP
(Worthy News) – Kansas’ new governor vetoed a bill Monday that would require doctors and abortion clinics to tell their patients about a disputed treatment meant to stop a medication abortion.
The veto from Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat, sets up a showdown with a Republican-dominated legislature that appears to have the two-thirds majorities needed in both chambers to override the veto. Legislators are scheduled to return from a weeks-long break May 1.
The bill would require abortion clinics to display a sign notifying women that they could stop a medication abortion by taking the hormone progesterone — even if they have already taken Mifepristone, the first of two drugs used in the procedure — and doctors would have to tell a patient in writing that a medication abortion could be reversed. A clinic that failed to post a sign could be fined $10,000, and a doctor who failed to notify a patient could be charged with a misdemeanor for a first offense and a felony for a second.
