Note that bill was originally written in early 2004. This didn't become an issue until yesterday when the amended version hit the news for the first time. From what I understood from the original post, it passed with no dissent 160-0.
Now the AP release said something about an Amendment adding 'piercing' but that is nowhere to be seen on the Georgia Senate website. I couldn't find that clause anywhere.
Definitely a case where a press release should be considered sensationalized.
