Override of 20-week abortion ban veto in West VA “imminent”
A remarkable feat in and of itself, West Virginia became the first Democrat-controlled state to pass a 20-week abortion ban this past March.
Until then all 1w other 20-week fetal pain bans (Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas) had been passed by Republicans.
West Virginia’s supposedly pro-life Democrat Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, pictured right, went on to veto the ban, claiming it was unconstitutional. This although nine of the aforementioned state bans* have never been challenged in court.
Now stage has been set for an even more remarkable feat to take place: a Democrat-controlled override of Tomblin’s veto.
