Strict anti-abortion laws stymied by veto, lawsuit
An attempt to overrule Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson's veto of a late-term abortion bill failed in the Kansas Senate on Wednesday.
The Senate voted 26-14 to revive the legislation–but that was one vote short of the two-thirds majority required to enact legislation over a veto.
And in Oklahoma, Attorney General Drew Edmondson has agreed to a court order requested by abortion providers to temporarily block enforcement of a new state law, which requires women to get an ultrasound and hear a detailed description of the fetus.
The agreement was announced Monday, before a scheduled hearing in Oklahoma County District Court on the request for a temporary restraining order by the Center for Reproductive Rights. District Judge Noma Gurich said attorneys for both sides told her they would accept the order.
Gurich says she will now schedule a hearing for sometime in July on a request for a temporary injunction against the law. An injunction would extend the restraining order.
