Michigan’s House Speaker has ruled out a forced ultrasound bill that would mandate transvaginal probes for women seeking abortions. Speaker Jase Bolger (R) confirmed in a statement that “this House of Representatives will not pass a bill mandating transvaginal ultrasounds.”

“While I want to be sure women have access to the best technology available, I have absolutely no interest in forcing a woman to have a transvaginal ultrasound,” Bolger explained.

Good move, but what concerns me is how long it will take before he feels pressured to allow the republicans to reintroduce the bill and take a vote on it. As I am typing this, I can imagine many of the republicans being pressured by the Iowa tea partiers to sidestep the House Speaker’s action.

The MI elected officials loves them some slam dunk lame duck sessions. I’d watch them. Closely.

This bill was in Michigan. The GOP in that state isn’t that likely to be pressured but Tea Party members from Iowa.
