Governor Kathleen Sebelius just vetoed a measure that would have required physicians to report additional information to the state about the late-term abortions they perform, and would have allowed more county prosecutors to pursue criminal charges over potentially illegal late-term procedures.
In layman's terms, anti-abortion people are pissed.
You may recognize Kathleen Sebelius as Obama's choice to be the Secretary of Health and Human Services, but right now she's still a governor, and she's making opponents of abortion angry. This could potentially harm her, as those people who are angry over this are building pressure on senators to reject her nomination as Secretary.
She defended herself saying that the measure would cause honest doctors to potentially accidentally break the law, and that the bill would have been struck down in federal court anyway.
If that is so, then maybe she should have helped save her nomination by letting it get struck down. That way she doesn't look like the bad guy.
However, I don't think her nomination will get rejected just because of this decision alone. Unless of course, we find out that she also didn't pay her taxes. Then that would just be bad.
