South Carolina House Passes Measure to Mandate Ultrasounds

The South Carolina House passed a measure last week that would require women seeking abortion care to view an ultrasound image of the fetus prior to the procedure. While other states give women the option to have an ultrasound and view the image, South Carolina would be the first state to mandate the practice. The measure passed in the House by a 91-23 vote, and advanced to the Senate last week.
