HIGHLIGHTS as of April 1, 2008
In March, new laws on ultrasound provision were enacted in Ohio and South Dakota. The new Ohio law requires that a woman seeking an abortion be offered the opportunity to view an ultrasound image if the abortion provider performs one as part of the preparation for the abortion procedure. The South Dakota law requires that an abortion provider give a woman the opportunity to view an ultrasound. With the addition of these two states, 15 states have requirements related to ultrasound and abortion.
