TALLAHASSEE - Women seeking abortions in their first trimester of pregnancy would be required to have ultrasounds of their fetuses, though they could opt out of viewing them.

The proposal amended onto a House bill Thursday also requires that women wait 24 hours after meeting with a doctor before having an abortion.

The bill, filed by state Rep. Trey Traviesa, R-Tampa, is expected to return soon for a vote.

Both the House and Senate are considering bills that require judges to consider and document certain factors when deciding whether a minor must notify parents that she is having an abortion.

I am so sick of this conversation.

Women are intelligent enough to decide if they want to become parents or not. All by their little lonesomes.

End of story.

4. Tell Justice Kennedy that.

He thinks women are idiots and don't know what they are doing and if they die because of complications so be it.

5. In the first trimester, ultrasounds can't show very much

The fetus is not much more than a "baby seed" at that point.
