Oklahoma Governor Mary (Mattress Mary) Fallin, vetoed the bill making performing an abortion a felony. I cannot believe this, the Republicans must have enough votes to override the veto so everyone comes out ok.... What a state we live in!

(11,175 posts)On this view, she vetoed the bill so as to make herself unacceptable to the base so that Trump wouldn't ask her to run with him. She doesn't want to appear disloyal by turning down the party nominee but she certainly doesn't want to be on THAT ticket.

Abortion will never be completely illegal in the US again. Shrub milked the issue and did absolutely nothing about it.
