Legislature
overrides another abortion veto
The Oklahoma Legislature has overridden the governor's veto of an
abortion bill that would require women and doctors to complete
questionnaires before the procedure could be done.
It is the third time this session the Republican-controlled House and
Senate have overridden Democratic Gov. Brad Henry's veto of an
abortion-related measure.
In the Senate, a handful of pro-life Democrats joined with Republicans
on Tuesday to reach the votes needed for the override. The House easily
voted for the override on Monday.
Another bill that the legislature passed over the governor's veto would
require women to undergo an ultrasound and listen to a detailed
description of the fetus before receiving an abortion. It is on hold
because of a legal challenge.

The IFRL is the largest grassroots pro-life organization in
Illinois. A non-profit organization, that serves as the state
coordinating body for local pro-life chapters representing thousands of
Illinois citizens working to restore respect for all human life in our
society. The IFRL is composed of people of different political
persuasions, various faiths and diverse economic, social and ethnic
backgrounds. Since 1973 the Illinois Federation for Right to Life has
been working to end abortion and restore legal protection to those members of the
human family who are threatened by abortion, infanticide and euthanasia. Diverse though we are, we hold one common belief - that
every human being has an inalienable right to life that is precious and must be protected. IFRL is
dedicated to restoring the right to life to the unborn, and protection
for the disabled and the elderly. Click here to learn more about the IFRL.
