About 150 supporters of SB 1387, the stalled bill to require any Idaho woman seeking an abortion to first undergo an ultrasound, are gathered on the state Capitol steps to rally for it; later this evening, opponents of the measure have scheduled a vigil for the same location, starting at 7:30 p.m. The bill's fate remains uncertain, after a House committee hearing on it was canceled last week, though backers are keeping up the fight for it.

Rep. Janice McGeachin, R-Idaho Falls, a co-sponsor of the bill, told the crowd she's seen "very un-Christian-like behavior" directed toward the bill's lead sponsor, Sen. Chuck Winder, R-Meridian, who's taken national heat for his comments in the Senate debate on the measure. "This is what happens, there's a lot of chaos when we work to do the right thing," McGeachin said. Protesters carried signs with slogans including, "Life is precious," "Yes S1387 Child's right to be heard!" and "Justice for ALL?" above a picture of a fetus super-imposed on an American flag.

This morning, House State Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Loertscher, R-Iona, said, "There are still negotiations going on, so we don't know if we're going to have a hearing or not," adding, "Just have to stay tuned."
