The Virginia House of Delegates approved two measures designed to ensure abortion-minded women are informed about the risks and outcomes of such a decision, LifeNews.com reported.
Republican Del. Kathy Byron sponsored a bill that would require abortionists to offer a client the chance to see an ultrasound of her preborn baby.
"It's medically responsible. It's logically responsible," she said. "It's also very important for women to have this information."
Republican Del. Ben Cline sponsored another pro-life bill that would require a doctor to inform women that an abortion after the 20th week of pregnancy will likely cause preborn babies to feel intense pain -- and to offer anesthesia for the baby.
"It's just making sure that the mother has all the information when she makes the decision," he said.
The bills now go to the Senate.
