Fr. Pavone Calls Governor’s Veto the “Ostrich Approach” to Public Policy

Amarillo, TX – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today reacted to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’s veto of a bill requiring abortionists to report the medical reasons why late term abortions were being performed.

“Apparently the Governor would just rather not know why women take the extreme step of aborting their late-term babies or even whether her supporters in the abortion industry comply with the law,” said Fr. Pavone.  “Sticking one’s head in the sand might be OK for ostriches, but it doesn’t make for good public policy.”

Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.
