Poll shows Virginia voters opposed to ultrasound bill
Source: CBS News
Most Virginia voters disagree with a law that will require women to have an ultrasound procedure prior to terminating a pregnancy, according to a poll released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University.
About 52 percent of Virginia registered voters oppose the legislation. Forty-one percent of those surveyed support it, according to the survey, conducted between March 13 and 18.
The survey shows more men disapprove of the law than women. Fifty-six percent of men disapprove, while 38 percent approve. Forty-nine percent of women disapprove, while 44 percent approve. Most Democrats (67 percent) disapprove, and most Republicans (61 percent) approve.
The bill, which McDonnell signed into law earlier this month, sparked a national controversy over a provision that would have required many women to undergo transvaginal ultrasounds, which opponents decry as medically unnecessary and physically invasive.
