"In the state House there was a lot of contention over a bill that would make women seeking abortions get an ultrasound first.Some are concerned about the Gov. Tom Corbett's understanding of the bill after a comment he made Tuesday.The Women's Right to Know Act would require women seeking an abortion to get an ultrasound within 24 hours of undergoing the procedure.A woman would be required by law to get an ultrasound so that she could see a fetal heartbeat.Corbett was asked by News 8's Matt Belanger on Tuesday where he stood on the bill.\"We made a statement during the campaign and wouldn't change it,\" Corbett said. \"As long as it's not obtrusive, but we're still waiting to see.\"When asked about women having to watch the ultrasound, Corbett said, \"I don't know how you make anybody watch, OK. Because you just have to close your eyes. But as long as it's on exterior not interior.\"Some have said they were outraged over Corbett's comment.Patrick Murphy, a Democrat running for attorney general, said he is demanding the governor to apologize.\"It's unthinkable that he would so casually dismiss this by advising women to just close their eyes,\" Murphy said. \"Gov. Corbett's comments are disturbingly offensive, insensitive and out of touch.\"The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania officials said the organization is opposed to the bill becoming law.A legislative representative said, \"The governor's statement shows a lack of understanding of medicine and women's reproductive health issues.\"The state House of Representatives and the state Senate still have to vote on the bill before it goes to the Corbett's desk."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
