But House Speaker Thom Tillis called the veto a "disappointment:":
“Governor Perdue’s over-eager veto pen has struck again, showcasing the latest disappointment in a record-setting string of vetoes this year. Good policies continue to be met with hostility in the Governor’s office, and that is unfortunate for the people of North Carolina.”
And the bill's chief sponsor, House Majority Whip Ruth Samuelson, R-Mecklenburg, said the veto runs counter to Perdue's voting record as a state lawmaker:
“We are now in a minority of states that require no special informed consent for abortion and that is shameful, especially with a female governor. Having come this far in leadership, Gov. Perdue should have even greater respect for the ability of women to make careful choices when given adequate information. Yet, she made no attempt to work with us in this effort to make abortion safer and rarer, a goal even many abortion advocates support.
"While in the state senate, Gov. Perdue routinely voted against funding for abortion, then as governor she vetoes legislation that provides women the information they need when faced with that same procedure. Unfortunately, it’s just further evidence that Gov. Perdue is more interested in keeping her title than maintaining the principles she voiced as a legislator.”
These two crack pots need to be voted out of office asap. Tillis, sorry to tell you that man should never be allow to tell a women what she can and can’t do about Her body and her rights.. Ruth you are out of touch period..
Women whom chose to have a abortion, doesn’t need the damn gov’t up in her business, these women are not stupid, for most part, this is a very hard choice, for many women to make. In most cases the choice is made after days of thinking about it.. So Tillis and Ruth get with the times and leave women’s rights to abortion the hell alone..
