In the past, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has won acclaim from pro-choice groups for consistently vetoing anti-abortion legislation. Not so last Friday. Sebelius signed a bill requiring doctors to ask patients, 30 minutes before scheduled abortions, if they would like to see an ultrasound image of the fetus or hear its heartbeat. Sebelius' Senate confirmation hearings to become secretary of health and human services begin tomorrow. Over the past month, she has consistently been attacked by social conservatives for her pro-choice record. --Dana Goldstein
