Topeka ? Supporters of a bill requiring doctors to report more information to the state about abortions they perform weren’t sure Monday if they would try to override Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ veto.

Sen. Karin Brownlee, R-Olathe, an abortion opponent, said the bill’s backers may wait until Thursday morning to decide. That’s when legislators are scheduled to return to the Statehouse for the final day of this year’s session.

“I’m talking with colleagues,” Brownlee said during an interview. “There is interest in attempting to override.”

The bill, vetoed Friday, would have required physicians to inform state health officials about each late-term abortion and whether the fetus was abnormal. It also would have expanded how much information doctors would have had to report, including how a woman would have been harmed without the procedure.

It passed May 3 on votes of 25-15 in the Senate and 89-34 in the House. To override, supporters need 27 votes in the Senate and 84 in the House. Senators would vote first.

“I think the chances of it being overridden in the Senate are slim, so I don’t know that we’ll worry much about it unless somehow they were to send it over,” said House Speaker Doug Mays, R-Topeka.

But Brownlee said, “I think we’re close in the Senate.”

Kansans for Life, the state’s largest anti-abortion group, is advocating an override. It had a news conference Monday to again criticize Sebelius, who supports abortion rights. The group accused her of using her veto message to portray herself as less liberal on the issue than she is.

Supporters argued the bill would give Kansans better information about abortions, and Brownlee said the veto showed Sebelius’ “absolute pro-abort position.”

“This bill simply requires additional information on abortions,” Brownlee said. “It doesn’t limit abortions. It doesn’t slow anything down.”

Sebelius made the same point in her veto message, but added the bill would have women providing “intimate, sensitive” information to the state.

She also angered Kansans for Life by noting that the number of abortions performed in Kansas has dropped 11 percent since taking office in 2003, adding, “I have worked to reduce the number of abortions in Kansas.”

“She says she will continue to work to reduce abortion. We ask, when has she started?” said Kathy Ostrowski, a Kansans for Life lobbyist. “If she’s pro-life or at least trying to end abortions, it’s not evident in the public record.”
