Kansas governor vetoes abortion pill reversal bill and says it's based on ‘uncertain science’

Republicans vowed to override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly's veto when lawmakers return to the Statehouse next week.
Kansas Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly has vetoed a bill that would make doctors tell patients that abortion pills may be reversible, citing its “uncertain science” that she says could harm Kansans’ health.

“In August, Kansans made clear that they believe personal healthcare decisions should be made between a woman and her doctor, not politicians in Topeka,” Kelly said in a statement. “This bill would interfere with that relationship.”

Republican leadership vowed to override Kelly’s veto when lawmakers return to the Statehouse next week.
