RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The most explosive issue from last year's Virginia General Assembly is expected to make a brief encore before a Senate committee.

The ultrasound measure last year drew angry protesters to Capitol Square and withering ridicule from television comedy shows for legislative Republicans.
