OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The author of a bill to make performing abortions a felony that passed the Oklahoma Legislature says he wants to talk with the governor before possibly attempting to override her veto of the measure.
Republican Sen. Nathan Dahm of Broken Arrow said Tuesday that he and other supporters of Senate Bill 1552 remain committed to protecting unborn life, but stopped short of committing to try and push the bill through over Republican Gov. Mary Fallin's veto.
Fallin said the bill is vaguely worded and would not survive a legal challenge.
Dahm has until Friday -- the last day of the session -- to decide whether to pursue a veto override.
Meanwhile, legislative leaders are negotiating with Fallin on next year's state budget.
