I’m in Newport News, which I always thought was a strange name for a city. It’s like naming a city Philadelphia Inquirer.
The big headline in the Richmond, Virginia, newspaper announced that the “Personhood” bill would not be brought up this year. For those of you who have been living in a cave, the bill defined a zygote as a person. The bill required any woman who wanted an abortion to submit to an intrusive vaginal ultrasound. Not kidding.
The important lesson to learn from this whole episode is that public outrage and public pressure worked to kill this legislation. Remember that.
