Gov. wants to screen abortion

Bill would require women to complete ultrasound before requesting informed consent for abortion

Gov. Bob McDonnell yesterday expressed support for a State Senate bill which would require women to complete ultrasound imaging before they can request informed consent for an abortion.

McDonnell plans to support Senate Bill 484, proposed by State Sen. Jill Vogel, R-Winchester, earlier in January.

"[McDonnell] believes this will provide the woman with even more information to make an informed decision," McDonnell spokesperson Jeff Caldwell said.
