LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- The Natural State now has the most restrictive abortion law in the country.

The Arkansas House of Representatives voted to override Governor Mike Beebe's veto of the 12-week abortion ban by a vote of 56-33 on Wednesday.

This comes just one day after the Senate voted to override the veto, and one week after both the House and Senate voted to override the Governor's veto of the ban on abortions after 20 weeks.

Fox16.com will have more on this story later tonight.

I am a mother of two... And would do it all over again.. I feel that if females out there dont wont to have these babies.. THEN keep your legs closed!!!! Those babies didnt ask to be brought into this world... I can see if it was a health issue or something like that.. But i dont see kelling a baby just because of a one night stand!!.. THat's what wrong with our world today.. People don't think before they act!!!!
