The third time's the charm, or at least, it may be for Texas Senate Bill 16.

The Texas Senate finally approved the bill Thursday. The bill was passed by the senate in 2007 and 2009 but died in the House.

The ultrasound would not be required if the reason for the abortion was for incest, rape or fetal abnormalities.
