A Kansans for Life spokesperson says the governor of the Sunflower State is so indebted to the abortion industry that she vetoed a very good abortion bill.
Mary Kay Culp of Kansans for Life says Governor Kathleen Sebelius has fought every effort to reduce abortions in the state, and now has vetoed a bill that would have simply given women more information to let them make a decision about the life or death of their child. Culp says Sebelius has vetoed a bill that sought to prevent coerced abortions, especially with underage girls who had suffered sexual abuse.
The Comprehensive Abortion Reform Act (CARA) also would have required abortionists to give women the option of viewing an ultrasound of their unborn child, as well as information on perinatal hospice centers. But Culp contends the pro-abortion crowd has bought Sebelius and that the governor is completely indebted to them.
According to the Kansans for Life executive director, organizations founded by or associated with infamous Wichita abortionist George Tiller spent more than a million dollars during the last election cycle. She points out that one of those groups, a political action committee, was named by the Kansas Government Ethics Commission was recognized as the top spending PAC in the state in 2002.
"So Dr. Tiller and the abortion industry in Kansas spends [sic] a lot of money in politics, hoping politicians will look the other way [and] will veto any bills -- even very reasonable bills like this one," says Culp.
Kansans for Life is urging its supporters to contact their state representatives and senators, requesting that they override Governor Sebelius's veto. CARA passed the Kansas House 84-40 and the Kansas Senate on a 25-13 vote, before being vetoed.
