Issues: Abortion and Kathleen Sebelius
March 20th, 2009
President Obama nominated Govenor Kathleen Sebelius for Secretary of Health and Human Services as many expected he would.
One of the major, meritorious battles Gov Sebelius will face will focus on her view of abortion as an elected executive. During her two terms as Kansas Governor, Mrs. Sebelius has vetoed some legislation such as HB 2503 (2005) and SB 389 (2008, Gov Sebelius’ comments) but she also signed a bill known as Alexa’s Law which allows for prosecution of people who commit violence against fetuses.
