The one that would have forced women to see an ultrasound of the fetus and listen to a doctor describe it before getting an abortion.
From his official release (link available below)
This bill places an inappropriate burden on women seeking to terminate a pregnancy. Individuals hold strong personal views on the issue of life, as do I. However, the personal views should not result laws that unwisely expand the role of government and coerce people to obtain medical tests or procedures that are not medically necessary. In this case, such action would violate a woman's right to privacy.
There are many medical or fiscal barriers that could be placed upon a woman in order to prevent her from following through on her constitutionally protected decision to end a pregnancy. However, such measure do not change hearts, which is the only true and effective way to ensure that a new life coming to the world is loved, cherished, and receives the care that is deserved.

The abortion bill veto was no surprise to the House Majority Office.
"Charlie Crist is becoming easy to predict: disregarding principle, previous statements or public assurances, he will switch his positions to whatever he thinks will get him the most votes," said Rep. Adam Hasner, R-Delray Beach, the majority leader. "He just can't be trusted."
As to how this plays politically the message is mixed -
With the veto, Crist places himself among the voters he needs to target in his Senate race. A May 14-18 poll by Ipsos Public Affairs for the Times/Herald and Bay News 9 showed that 55 percent of voters want him to veto the bill, compared with 31 percent who want him to sign it.
Those figures conflict with the feedback Crist's office received on the bill. As of Thursday evening, 36,000 people wrote or called in support of the bill, while 27,000 people asked for a veto.
Crist said that response "may be an organized action" by advocates in support of the bill and that he hears anecdotally that most Floridians don't support the ultrasound requirement.
But bill supporters argue Crist ignored the will of the people.
