LAMB PLEDGES TO PURSUE PRO-LIFE LEGISLATION IN LIGHT OF COURT
RULING
“Judge Vicki Robertson’s ruling we saw today was
obviously disappointing, but as author of the legislation I am
considering all available options in this situation including a
formal request to the Attorney General to appeal the ruling.
“This is emphatically not a setback for pro-life issues in our
state. Although I may have been the principal author of this
legislation, the bill received bipartisan support not only on its
final passage but also on the veto override. I thank my colleagues
on both sides of the aisle for their support and I want them to
know I am committed to finding a solution to this ruling.
“The pro-life legislation was struck down based on the single
subject rule, yet so much legislation that we pass in the
Legislature deals with multiple provisions and multiple sections
just as this bill did. I believe this bill complied with the one
subject rule and is indeed constitutional.”
