Vilsack will likely veto abortion bill

Governor Tom Vilsack today said he’ll likely veto the bill which would enforce a 24-hour waiting period for abortions performed in Iowa. The bill cleared the Iowa House and Senate, and calls upon abortion providers to give women a wide-variety of information about the options of abortion, adoption and keeping the child.Vilsack says that’s not the proper role of government. Vilsack has three days to sign or veto legislation once he receives it, but legislative staff have not yet sent him the bill so he can take action on it.
