TOPEKA ? (AP) – Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has vetoed a bill imposing new restrictions on abortion.

Sebelius argued in her veto message that the bill could endanger women by preventing them from obtaining abortions necessary to save their lives.

Supporters of the measure have said it would prevent patients from being coerced into having abortions. They also believe it would give them more complete information about the procedures they’ll undergo.

The measure would allow a patient, her spouse or her family to sue an abortion provider if they believe that provider is violating restrictions on late-term abortions.
