All Quiet On Ultrasound Front …

Things have been quiet on the ultrasound front yesterday and today after Wednesday's tumult, with no House hearing scheduled on the controversial Senate-passed bill to require Idaho women who want an abortion to first undergo an ultrasound, but talk in the halls of the Statehouse has continued. Anti-abortion activists who pushed for the bill, SB 1387, are still promoting it, but skittish House Republicans haven't been enthusiastic.
The House State Affairs Committee, which on Wednesday abruptly canceled its hearing on SB 1387 that had been scheduled for Thursday morning, didn't meet today, and has posted an agenda for a Monday morning meeting that doesn't include the bill/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.

Question: So do you think the ultrasound bill is dead?
