The Associated Press
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback signed sweeping anti-abortion legislation Friday, giving his state a new law to block tax breaks for abortion providers, ban sex-selection abortions and declare that life begins at fertilization.
Many provisions take effect in July, though the tax changes will be effective for 2014. The measure cleared the Republican-dominated Legislature by wide margins earlier this month.
The GOP governor is a strong abortion opponent who urged lawmakers to create a culture of life after taking office in January 2011.
All human life is sacred. Its beautiful, Brownback said just before signing the measure, flanked by abortion opponents. With this, we continue to build this culture of life in our state.
An Associated Press photograph taken before the signing shows a page of notes about the bill on Brownbacks desk that included a handwritten message at the top: JESUS + Mary. Further down the page were typewritten notes spelling out Brownbacks belief that the bill would create a culture of life.
Brownbacks office didnt respond immediately to requests Friday afternoon for additional information about the notes.

(25,456 posts)It sounds like something an eight-year-old would come up with. Or an advertising executive.
Which, I suppose, explains the mentality behind it.
