Political Blog: Satire Has Its Say in Politics
Virginia lawmakers dropped a bill they were trying to pass because of criticism from two surprising places: The Daily Show and Saturday Night Live. The lawmakers were pushing a bill that would have mandated that women considering an abortion would have to have an ultrasound before the procedure. The bill was dropped, and has since been rewritten to change the procedure to one less invasive. But many people are shocked that the leading antagonists for such a bill were the satirical late night TV shows.
