Kansas Legislature Overrides Governor's Vetoes on Anti-Abortion and Tax Bills

The Republican-dominated House in Kansas has overridden Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly's veto of three anti-abortion laws, including a bill requiring medical care for babies "born alive," a ban on abortion providers buying liability insurance from a state fund, and a bill requiring physicians to give patients medically inaccurate information about the potential to reverse the abortion pill. The legislation has been criticized for state-mandated misinformation, alienating OB-GYN workers, and ignoring the will of voters who rejected a constitutional amendment stripping women of the right to terminate a pregnancy.
