W. Va. Legislature To Consider Abortion Bill
WEST VIRGINIA...
This week, a measure will be introduced to the West Virginia Legislature that would require abortion providers to give patients the opportunity to view an ultrasound image of their fetus any time the procedure is required by the medical standard of care. WV FREE, which supports abortion rights, argues the measure would interfere with a private medical decision and wants to see it rejected. However, groups like West Virginians for Life, who haven't had a legislative success since 2005, believe the ultrasound bill has a good chance of passing.
