Welcome to

A tricky piece of legislation is headed to the governor’s desk and it sets the newly independent US Senate candidate between a rock and a hard place. Lawmakers approved legislation requiring women in their first trimester of pregnancy to get an ultrasound before they have an abortion. If Crist signs the bill he’ll upset pro-choice women; if he vetoes it, he’ll lose some votes from the right. Crist says he’s leaning toward a veto.

“It does strike me as a bit intrusive and I just want to continue to listen to the people of Florida and continue to get their input. It’s important to me to hear from them and that’s what I’m doing,” said Crist.

Thousand of people from both sides of the issue have called and emailed the governor’s office, even though he hasn’t received the bill yet.
