It’s nice to start off the week with some good news.

Legislation requiring physicians to furnish the state with additional information when they perform abortions was vetoed Friday by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who said it crossed the line on privacy issues.

The bill would have required physicians to inform state health officials about each late-term abortion and whether the fetus was abnormal. It also would have expanded how much information doctors would have had to report, including how a woman would have been harmed without the procedure.

Because if she wasn’t going to be hurt that bad, than she should have been forced to continue the pregnancy obviously. Ugh.

Sebelius said that the bill would “force women to provide intimate, sensitive health information to the government.� Which of course was the point.
