Arkansas Senate votes to override veto of bill limiting abortion Mar 5th 2013, 20:46 LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas | Tue Mar 5, 2013 3:07pm EST LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (Reuters) - The Republican-controlled Arkansas Senate voted on Tuesday to override Democratic Governor Mike Beebe's veto of a bill that would ban most abortions in Arkansas after 12 weeks of pregnancy, the most severe restriction in the nation. Senators voted 20-14 to override Beebe's veto. In Arkansas, lawmakers can override a veto by a simple majority vote. The measure would become law if the Republican-controlled state House of Representatives also votes to override the veto.
