VA Republicans..
Quote:
GOP lawmakers evidently did not know, until it was pointed out to them by noted medical experts such as comedian Jon Stewart, what was in the ultrasound bill they were poised to pass last week: that it would force many abortion-seeking women to submit to a transvaginal procedure against their will.
Even the legislation's sponsor, state Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel, admitted she had "no concept" about the true extent of her bill – and she wasn't sure she believed it after being told. Once they found out, though, Republicans beat a rapid retreat. A compromise measure will require an abdominal ultrasound but make the vaginal kind voluntary. Mighty big of them.
