Democrats in the Virginia state House and Senate took steps this week toward rolling back multiple state abortion restrictions, with each chamber passing its own bill looking to strike down obstacles to the procedure
Both the state Senate bill that passed Wednesday and the state House bill passed Tuesday would remove regulations requiring abortion seekers to undergo an ultrasound at least 24 hours prior to receiving an abortion and to get counseling on alternatives to abortion. They also strike the requirement that facilities providing more than five abortions per year be designated as hospitals.
""This bill concerns an incredibly important decision that should be left up to a woman and her health care provider," she continued, adding that"all women in the Commonwealth deserve accessible reproductive healthcare services, without medically unnecessary obstacles."On the state House floor Tuesday, Republicans decried the bill as insufficiently strict.
