Beebe: Abortion ban may be unconstitutional

Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe won’t say where he lands on the bill that would prohibit the majority of abortions in the state of Arkansas, but said today initial research by his office shows the measure could be unconstitutional.

The full Senate will tackle the bill before it can head to a House committee for examination.

According to the Log Cabin Democrat, Beebe is also researching the constitutionality of bills that would ban abortion at 20 weeks and would exempt abortions from the federal exchange created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
