"Opponents to a controversial measure that would have forced all women considering abortion to have an ultrasound are calling a victory in what they\u2019ve called a \u201Cwar against women.\u201D \u201CWe applaud those members of the legislature who stood against SB 1387 and government intrusion into private medical decisions,\u201D said Hannah Brass, Legislative Director of Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest in Idaho. \u201CThe public made it clear that no matter where in the state they live and no matter where on the political spectrum they are, the government mandating an ultrasound for political and not medical reasons is the very definition of government intrusion.\u201D The proposed mandate drew fire from opposition that argued the legislation would inject politicians into personal medical decisions, infringe upon women\u2019s constitutional rights and add burden and trauma to women facing crisis pregnancies."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
