sebelius tiller.jpgUPDATE, 6:30p: Want to know exactly what Sebelius vetoed? Kansans for Life spelled out the bill:
HB218 increased physician accountability. It:
1) clarified late-term abortion medical diagnoses be reported instead of phony answers

  • must report medical method used to arrive at fetal gestational age
  • amplified description of medical diagnosis required on KDHE form
  • gave KDHE additional rule-making authority needed for reporting
  • allowed lawsuits for intentional physician misreporting
  • gave prosecutorial authority to AG or DA where constituent criminal acts occurred…


    2) required, rather than permitted, the state medical board to revoke license for late-term conviction
    3) gave women more protection from unnecessary abortions approved by physicians working for the abortionist [exemplified by the illicit collaboration that the State Board of Healing Arts, March 27, asserted about George Tiller, in their current pursuit to revoke his medical license]

  • required that mothers receive written diagnosis of medical condition 30 minutes before abortion
  • required to add name of 2nd referring doctor on KDHE report and sworn statement from both that they aren’t affiliated
  • allowed mother and spouse (or parent/guardian for minor) to sue for criminal late-term abortion.
    Sebelius’ excuses for vetoing this legislation were unconscionable. But she doesn’t have a conscience, so never mind.

    Thumbnail image for breaking.jpgFrom the Associated Press, moments ago:

    KS Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has vetoed a bill that would rewrite a state law restricting late-term abortions.
    The measure vetoed Thursday would have required doctors performing late-term abortions to report additional information on those procedures to the KS Dept. of Health and Environment.
    The bill also would have allowed women or girls who later believed their abortions were illegal to sue the doctors. Their husbands or, in the case of minors, a parent or guardian, also could sue.
    Sebelius questions whether the bill could withstand a court challenge and suggests that some provisions could lead to “intimidation” of health care providers.
