Chairman of state Senate health committee sees no conflict of interest in support for bill,

his company sells the type of equipment the bill would require!

The chairman of the Alabama Senate Health Committee said he doesn’t see a conflict of interest between his support for a bill that would require physicians to perform ultrasounds on women seeking abortions and his company, which sells the type of equipment the bill would require.

Sen. Greg Reed, R-Jasper, voted to move Senate Bill 12 out of committee last week because he said it’s a good bill that would help “a mother to understand that a live baby is inside her body.”

They don't even try to hide it anymore do they?

The majority of voters in Alabama are about as smart as a door bell, and I'm giving them credit they don't deserve!!!
