TALLAHASSEE -- A bill from Winter Garden Sen. Dan Webster (R) requiring abortion patients to view an ultrasound of the fetus passed its final committee hearing in Tallahassee Tuesday, and was set to be heard by the full Senate.
The bill has already passed the House.
"In current law, there is an ultrasound evaluation to be performed prior to an abortion in the second and third trimester," Webster said. "This bill expands that law to include the first trimester."
