you may feel a little pressure


From the Shad Plank, the blog for Virginia Politics we get the hero of the day . State Senator Janet Howell, D-Fairfax "offered an amendment Monday to a bill requiring women to receive an ultrasound before having an abortion, that would require men with erectile dysfunction to have a rectal exam.
 In protesting what she see's as an unecessary procedure for women to have to undergo before having an abortion. "We should just have a little gender equity here," Howell said. "
 The amendment ultimately failed to pass on a nearly party line vote of 19-21. The Senate is expected to vote on the ultrasound measure Tuesday.
