LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The Arkansas Senate has overridden Gov. Mike Beebe's veto of legislation banning most abortions starting in the 20th week of pregnancy.
The law took effect immediately after the Republican-led Senate voted 19-14 on Thursday to override the Democratic governor's veto. The state House voted to override the veto Wednesday. A simple majority was required in each chamber.
