Bush vetoes broad abortion funding bill amid Senate vote
President Bush kept his pledge to veto a measure expanding federal funding for abortions for poor women in cases of incest or rape, arguing funds would only be allowed when the mother's life is endangered. The Senate approved the expanded language 67 to 31, while the House passed earlier, leaving an override bid uncertain. Public figures split, with NARAL condemning the veto and the National Right to Life lauding it.
