The Republican-controlled Virginia state Senate has voted 21-19 to pass a slightly amended version of House Bill 462, which requires pregnant women who are considering abortion to undergo ultrasound imaging and be given the opportunity to view the ultrasound image. The bill, which initially mandated the use of a transvaginal ultrasound, was modified at the behest of Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) after the original and more invasive version proved too controversial. The bill has passed the House and is now headed to the Governor's desk for his signature. BOYCOTT VIRGINIA!!
