OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Oklahoma Senate is expected to vote on whether to override Gov. Brad Henry's veto of two abortion bills.
The Republican-controlled Senate will consider the move on Tuesday - a day after the House overrode each of the Democratic governor's vetoes.
House members voted 81-14 to override the veto of a bill requiring women to undergo an ultrasound and listen to a detailed description of the fetus before getting an abortion.
They voted 84-12 to override a veto of legislation that prohibits pregnant women from seeking damages if physicians withhold information or provide inaccurate information about their pregnancy.
At least 36 votes in the 48-member Senate are needed to override the vetoes, which Henry said were needed because the measures lacked exemptions for rape and incest victims.
