This sucks!
Last November, Kanye West‘s mother, Donda West, died after a breast reduction and liposuction surgery gone wrong. The autopsy revealed health problems, such as cardiac artery blockage and high blood pressure.
A bill was written shortly after her death that is intended to prevent cosmetic surgery-related deaths.
However, the bill failed to pass due to several vetoes on Sunday by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Reportedly, the reason for the Schwarzenegger’s veto was that “this summer’s historic, 85-day delay in passage of a state budget left him with time to enact only the highest-priority legislation for California.”
The veto message, which he also applied to dozens of others, states “This bill does not meet that standard, and I cannot sign it at this time.”
The governor has until midnight on Tuesday to sign or veto all of the almost 900 bills sent to him. If he doesn’t act on them, then those bills become law.
The cosmetic surgery bill, AB 2968 by Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter, would have made it a requirement for people to undergo a physical examination, give a complete medical history, and also get a doctor’s clearance before getting any plastic surgery done.
And in the Legislature it received an almost unanimous support.
