The state Assembly has approved a Republican bill that would require women seeking an abortion to get an ultrasound of the fetus.
The measure would require the ultrasound and the technician to point out the fetus' features and organs. The bill also would prohibit doctors from performing abortions unless he or she has admitting privileges in a hospital within 30 miles.
The measure was part of a package of bills approved by Assembly Republicans Thursday designed to make it more difficult to get abortions in Wisconsin, joining a renewed conservative drive to impose tougher restrictions on the procedure nationwide.
Another measure would prohibit the state health insurance from covering abortions as well as exempt religious organizations from providing insurance coverage for contraceptives. A third bill would ban abortions based on the fetus' sex.

Minority Democrats railed against the proposals for hours Thursday, accusing the GOP of trying to dictate women's medical care and score points with the conservative base.

Republicans hold an overwhelming majority in the Assembly and easily passed each bill. The state Senate approved the ultrasound-admitting privileges bill on Wednesday; the Assembly vote sent the measure to Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who has said he will sign it into law.Read the full story HERE.

'What's not to like'?
Repelled equal pay for women?
Now I'll have a laugh about the battle of the sexes etc, but some on, in 2013, non-equality of pay?
BTW, that'll also go down well in a hypothetical V Clinton general lol, he's lost his wife's vote there too
I think the provision that the abortionist have hospital privileges within 30 miles was not to DETER abortions so much as to make sure a woman having an abortion will have access to needed medical care in case something goes wrong. Remember Pig Gosnell's deaths? Just because abortion is legal does not make it safe. Too bad the press only talks about these things with a one-track leftist point of view. Of course the 30 mile restriction may end in making abortions more difficult, but it is arguably not the intention. How come Dems get voted in on good intentions but conservatives are only judged on results? I'm stepping off my soapbox now.....(sigh)
