I was surprised to learn that my recent column on the squelched attempt by state reps to put forth a bill to repeal the appalling ultrasound mandate caused quite a kerfuffle in Concord. Rep. David Meuse from Portsmouth tweeted a link to the column, and rabid Republicans were up in arms! No doubt the Speaker of the House, Sherm the Squelcher, has gotten wind of it by now.

Meanwhile, in the damage control department, HB 1609 proposing to amend the Fetal Life Protection Act by removing the ultrasound requirement was rushed through committee by level-headed Republicans and endorsed by Gov. Sununu. You can bet I’ll be keeping the heat turned up on this. And now on to more “girl news...”
