Laramie, Wy – Governor Dave Freudenthal vetoed three bills today. Most notably the Governor vetoed the measure that would have increased the punishment for killing a woman and her fetus. Freudenthal says under the Supreme Court decision Roe versus Wade an unborn fetus is not a *person* for purposes of 14th Amendment protection. He notes that this bill would have made it a homicide to terminate a pregnancy. And homicide is by definition the killing of a person. Thus, he says the bill implicitly defines any unborn fetus as a person.
