Two abortion measures are now headed to the governor's desk. The Tennessee House voted 79-18 in favor of a bill requiring a 48-hour waiting period for women seeking an abortion after in-person counseling by a physician, and it voted  79-17 for new regulations of abortion clinics. A spokesman for Gov. Bill Haslam said he anticipates the governor will sign both bills into law, the Tennessean reports.
