At the request of the Gov, after he consulted with doctors and lawyers, the House bill was changed to mandate abdominal ultrasounds, but giving women, requiring a transvaginal one to determine gestational age, the right to opt out of the procedure. The House passed it yesterday. The Senate is to vote on it today.

I'm sure the testimony from womens rights activitists, the parodies on this issue showing Virginia in a foolish light, and the lack of public support also helped.

The "personhood" bill is also supposed to make its way to the floor today.
