CWN Editor's Note: In Kansas and in Arizona, pro-life legislation has been thwarted by governors’ vetoes.

In Kansas, Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a bill that would have protected babies who survived attempted abortion. In Arizona, Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed a similar bill, which would have required doctors to provide care for abortion survivors.

Both governors identify themselves as Catholic.

    Who are their bishops? Why not identify them by name?
