Update: Bredeson refuses to sign pro life bill with thoughts of revising before 2014...

Bredesen Leaves Anti-Abortion Bill Unsigned, Urges Revision (Updates earlier post)
 From Humphrey on the Hill...

This post states the Gov. Bredeson  (no friend to the pro life people of TN ) had more in mind than just being neutral. Per this post, he points out that this bill does not go into effect until 2014  and a letter from Gov. Bredeson points out that by not signing it it gives the legislator time to "rethink" it. Which means that there is time for coming up with some  measure  to undermine or undo what was clearly the will of  the people through their elected legislators. After all look how it at the margins of passage ......House 70-23 and the state Senate 27-3.

So as the earlier post said, at least he did not  cave to the radical left...perhaps that thought was premature...
