Governor expected to sign abortion measures
Supporters deliver petitions to Gov. Sam Brownback urging vetoes, but he is expected to sign the bills. Spokeswoman Sara Arif said the governor has not read the measures yet but plans to. The bills, approved by the Legislature, define life at fertilization, restrict tax breaks for abortion providers, require breast cancer risk information, and face opposition from Planned Parenthood and civil liberties groups.
