&quot;Secondly, HB 462, is not my legislation though I did vote in favor of it.  It is sponsored by Delegate Kathy Byron.

[b]The issue is one of women's safety.  [/b]HB 462 will add ultrasound to the informed consent requirements in Virginia.  Planned Parenthood requires ultrasound to date pregnancy because it is the standard of care to ensure the correct procedure is done.  For example if a woman has an ectopic pregnancy or is further along in her pregnancy that she first thought she cannot be given RU-486 because it would be life threatening.  Below is a quote from a Planned Parenthood hotline with regard to their requirements for an abortion procedure.  All abortions require an ultrasound and a pill abortion requires [b]two trans vaginal ultrasounds[/b], one before the pill is given and one later.  Consent for the ultrasound is required to obtain an abortion.  As a result, this legislation would not require anything more invasive that what is already done but would only require that all other clinics meet this same standard of care and that the woman be offered the opportunity to view the ultrasound.

So clearly, what the bill is REALLY about is women's safety.  Rrrrrrriiiiiggghhhttt.....[/quote]
