Senate Will uphold Henry's Veto on 714

The piece of legislation by Sen. Williamson (R-Tulsa) that eliminates the practice of abortions even under the situations of rape and incest was vetoed by Governor Henry on Wednesday, only had 16 Senators vote against it one fewer than needed to protect a veto. While Williamson claims that he could get 32 votes to override the veto, it seems unlikely. Yesterday, Sen. Rabon told me that Democrats have at least 17 solid votes to uphold the veto. On interesting note is that if it had not lacked the exemptions for rape and incest, it would probably be law.
