What the bill says
A bill previously vetoed without addressing any concerns, the General Assembly is disregarding legitimate objections, creating legislation that would result in legal challenges that are unnecessary given the reality at hand. As this issue continues to be debated, any legislative action on contraception must be coupled with clear conscience protections and must preserve the rights of families to make personal decisions in accordance with their beliefs. Accordingly, I veto this bill.
