Abortion bills vetoed by the governor last week became law today when the Senate successfully voted in favor of overriding the governor's action.

Monday, the House voted to override the bills. House Bill 2780 requires a health care provider to perform an ultrasound before an abortion could be performed and House Bill 2656 would make it illegal to sue a doctor claiming "wrongful birth" because the doctor failed to convince the mother to abort a child.

In votes of 36-12 on both bills, senators successfully did away with Gov. Brad Henry's veto of the measures.

Within hours, a New York abortion rights group filed a lawsuit in Oklahoma County District Court to challenge the ultrasound law.
