AZ Governor vetos "Fetal Pain" notification

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]sunfell)

Hooray for common sense and boldness! The governor of Arizona has vetoed a bill requiring AZ abortion providers to tell women seeking abortions about fetal pain.

Napolitano, in a three-sentence veto message, called the legislation "an unwarranted intrusion by politicians" into the doctor-patient relationship.
"The Legislature should not attempt to substitute its judgment for that of trained physicians with respect to professional advice given to patients," the governor wrote.


Hooray for a little common sense!

The Daily Kos has more discussion of the 'fetal pain' tactic of pro-life forces.
